And this season continues Wednesday, March 29, when Florence fans of brass will get a dose of the Dallas Brass beginning at 7 p.m. The quintet masters all aspects of the PERFORMANCES WILL INCLUDE brass repertoire: classical, Dixieland, swing, show tunes and more as they pro- vide a musical travelogue through American instrumental history. On Wednesday, April 26, at 7 p.m., SEA presents “Barrage 8,” a high-energy dose of modern string instruments and movement. Their innovative stage performance blends wonderfully with their musical D ALLAS B RASS ( ABOVE ) ON M ARCH 29 talent — and strings like you have never heard them before. On Wednesday, May 24, at 7 p.m., it will be an incomparable night for key- board fans: dueling pianos when “The Piano Caméléons” will ring out the SEA season on two grand pianos, expertly manned by a pair of virtuoso pianists. They revisit great classic pieces with interpretations touched by traditional jazz, world beat and other influences. It will be a spectacle for the eyes, ears and soul. Tickets can be purchased at the Florence Events Center box office, 715 Quince St., or by phone at 541-997- 1994 during regular business hours.
