 Brass  Quintet  Ensemble   The  “Roma  Brass  Quintet”  was  founded  in  1999  by  a  group  of  pres5gious  musicians  from  

various  orchestras  and  ins5tu5ons  (Accademia  Nazionale  di  Santa  Cecilia,  RAI  Symphony  Orchestra,  Conservatory,  Banda  Nazionale  dell’Arma  dei  Carabinieri).  The  intense  ac5vity  of  the  RBQ  includes  the  opening  concert  of  the  Venice  Architecture  Biennale,  the  collabora5on  with  M.  Luciano  Berio  for  the  performance  of  “Call”,  the  concert  tour  in  Iran  at  the  State  Theater  in  Tehran  (2002),  the  inaugura5on  of  the  concert  seasons  of  Pauline  Chapel  at  the  Quirinale  broadcasted  in  Europe  by  RADIOTRE    and  the  inaugura5on  of  the  Paul  Klee  exhibi5on  in  Rome  –  at  Complesso  del  ViZoriano.  

The  RBQ  has  consistently  aZracted  the  interest  of  the  interna5onal  press  for  the  choice  of  programs  that  transcend  the  ordinary  “concert  program”  to  become,  through  spoken  introduc5ons  and  gags,  a  show  where  the  music,  always  protagonist,  is  made  even  more  enjoyable.  Music  that  is  concise,  an5-­‐rhetorical,  fun,  “great  and  small”  at  the  same  5me  ...  just  like  the  RBQ.  In  fact,  this  ensemble  is  small,  prac5cal  and  func5onal,  but  with  a  great  repertoire:  special  transcrip5ons  lead  the  audience  from  Opera  to  Musical,  from  soundtracks  to  Cartoons,  without  forge_ng  the  tradi5onal  “classics”:  from  Monteverdi  (with  original  instruments)  to  Gabrieli,  Palestrina  and  Bach.  Original  pieces  of  the  Nineteenth  century  (Maurer,  Ewald),  music  of  the  soloists  of  John  Philip  Sousa  band,  Gershwin,  jazz  and  contemporary  music  complement  the  many  possibili5es  of  this  ensemble.  

The  brass  quintet  ensemble  course  is  free  to  all  students  enrolled  in  a  course  of  trumpet,  trombone,  horn  and  tuba.

Historical  Informa5on  Although  Neolithic  people  lived  in  this  region,  the  first  historical  document  men5oning  the  town  is  dated  600  B.C.    

Narni  was  a  Roman  colony  under  the  name  of  Narnia,  a  name  that  comes  from  the  Nar  River,  which  today  is  called  the  Nera.    

 In  233  B.C.,  with  the  construc5on  of  the  via  Flaminia  from  Rome  to  Rimini  on  the  Adria5c  coast,  Narni  became  of  major  importance  and  it  was  heavily  for5fied  because  the  road  passed  through  the  town.    

In  90  B.C.,  Narnia  became  a  municipally  (semi  independent)  town  within  the  Roman  Empire.  The  first  Chris5an  Bishop  of  Narni,  Giovenale  from  Cartage,  was  chosen  in  368  A.D.  and  later  was  consecrated  as  Patron  Saint  of  the  town.    

Narni’s  strategic  posi5on,  standing  as  it  does  above  the  deep  gorge  of  the  river  Nera,  has  made  it  a  target  of  many  invading  and  barbarian  forces.    

In  the  11th  Century  it  established  its  power  as  a  free  “Comune”  (autonomous  town).    Between  the  12th  and  the  14th  century  it  reached  its  greatest  splendor.  In  1371,  the  Pope  Reformed  the  Statutes  of  the  city  and  Narni  became  part  of  the  Papal  State.    Narni  developed  a  school  of  pain5ng  and  goldsmithing.  Many  ar5sts  of  the  renaissance  period  produced  work  for  clients  and  patrons  in  Narni:  Rosellino,  Ghirlandaio,  Gozzoli,  VecchieZa,  Antoniazzo,  Romano  and  Spagna.    

On  the  17th  of  July  1527  the  Lanzichenecchi  (northern  mercenaries)  stopped  on  their  way  back  from  the  sacking  of  Rome  and  destroyed  Narni.    

Slowly  the  walls,  buildings  and  churches  were  rebuilt  and  by  the  end  of  the  century,  Narni  had  been  re-­‐established.    Aqer  the  rebuilding,  many  important  ar5sts  returned  to  Narni,  including  Vignola  and  Zuccari.  Also  Sangallo  and  Scalza,  who  took  part  in  the  reconstruc5on  of  the  town.    In  1664  the  town  library  was  founded.  Many  famous  people  were  born  in  Narni,  including:  the  emperor  M.C.  Nerva,  GaZamelata,  the  Beata  Lucia,  Bernardo,  Eroli,  GaleoZo  Marzio  and  S.  Cassio.
