Prepare to be amazed! MetalWerx is a unique local quartet consisting of two euphoniums—played by Dale Long of South Burlington and Jenna Schultz of Winooski, and two tubas—played by Tim Foley of Burlington and Yutaka Kono of Shelburne.
The repertoire is an eclectic mix of fantasies, suites, marches, jazz, and pop music standards, and a few favorite classical transcriptions sure to please the ear of every music lover’s taste. Noted composers include Holst, Sousa, Puccini, Rossini, and Piazzolla. MetalWerx has presented concerts at the University of Vermont, participated in the 2015 “Bach In The Subways” event in Burlington, and provided music for wedding and funeral services.
MetalWerx spreads the gospel of the lush and colorful sounds of the tuba and euphonium by performing works written or arranged for this specific instrumentation. The group has commissioned new pieces for this quartet by Vermont composer/hornist Lydia Lowery Busler and Burlington trombonist/pianist/composer/arranger Andrew Muroz.
The quartet was founded in 2008 to provide incidental music for the Milton Community Band Christmas concert. They had so much fun putting that together, they decided to continue and see where it led.
Come hear the remarkable range of sounds and the wide array of musical styles presented by MetalWerx. It is a sound like no other!
