The Internationally Acclaimed Musical 'Flea Circus' MNOZIL BRASS Brings Brazen Comedy To The McCallum
Mnozil Brass has become an international sensation thanks to a seamless blend of technical virtuosity and technical brilliance-and the McCallum Theatre will be hosting the talented brass septet on Tuesday, March 24, at 8:00 pm. The show is being presented through the generosity of Gary and Phyllis Schahet. Performing more than 130 times a year, the group has sold out houses worldwide. Mnozil Brass' videos have garnered millions of YouTube views, and fans travel countless miles to hear them play.
Mnozil Brass will be exploring the depths of their instruments once again to entertain in a brand-new show, Cirque, entering the ring to combat the monkey business of daily life with music and humor, and transforming the stage into a musical flea circus. As always, the repertoire is presented with the group's iconic humor and wit in scenes so clever that they would be worthy of Monty Python. Previous returns to North America were hailed as "seriously funny" and "whimsically brazen."
Mnozil Brass takes its name from the "Gasthaus Mnozil," a restaurant across the street from the Vienna Conservatory, where, in 1992, seven young brass musicians met and began playing at a monthly open mic. Since then, the group has embraced repertoire for all ages and stages of life, from folk to classical to jazz to pop-all executed with the same fearlessness, immense technical skill and typical Viennese "schmäh." (It's almost impossible to find an English translation ... it's kind of a sarcastic charm.)
In time away from touring, Mnozil Brass has recorded eight albums and six DVDs. The group has collaborated on three operetta and opera productions, and composed and recorded the music for the 2006 film Freundschaft. The group has been nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award and won the prestigious Salzburger Stier Cabaret Prize in 2006.
Tickets for this performance are priced at $68, $48 and $28. Tickets are available at the Theatre's website at www.mccallumtheatre.com or by calling the McCallum Theatre Box Office at (760) 340-2787.
