The Edward B and Joan T Knight Remembrance Concert to be held at the Key West Lighthouse on March 14
Impromptu Classical Concerts invites the public to a special free outdoor performance featuring the world renowned Axiom Brass Quintet, at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 14 on the grounds of the historic Key West Lighthouse at 938 Whitehead St.
The event is The Edward B and Joan T Knight Remembrance Concert, in honor of the two late local philanthropist founders of the Edward B. and Joan T. Knight Foundation. That organization was created to continue this couple’s legacy to impact lives, improve communities and inspire others to change theirs and others lives. Impromptu Classical Concerts has benefited substantially from the generosity of this foundation, and so is dedicating the performance to the memory of this remarkable couple.
Since its founding in 2007, the Chicago-based Axiom Brass Quintet has become one of the most awarded brass chamber ensembles in the U.S. Praised for a “High level of musicality and technical ability—clean, clear and precise sound,” by Chamber Music America, the ensemble won the 2008 International Chamber Brass Competition followed by the 2010 Fischoff Chamber Music Competition, Plowman Chamber Music Competition and Juju City International Brass Quintet Competition in South Korea. In 2012 the group was also the only brass quintet in 27 years to win the prestigious Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition and that same year became the only American ensemble to win the Preis de Europa-Stadt Passau in Germany.
Seating for this concert will be appropriately spaced and masks are required. A strict limit of 225 seats will be adhered to.
