Permont Brass Quintet

This semester, the University of Iowa will be hosting a very special event; the Festival of Contemporary Music from Israel, which will be held from April 17th to 23rd, is a collaboration between the University of Iowa and the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. As part of the festival, the Iowa Brass Quintet will be performing Haim Permont's Brass Quintet. It is a very interesting and challenging work, but well worth it. Here is a video of members of the Israel Philharmonic in an amazing live performance of the work. I have uploaded the score to our ICON Files page, and will be presenting in class later this semester.
