7 AUSCULTATION BRASS AT GLOSSBRENNER You are cordially invited to a benefit concert for the Alzheimer s Association presented by The Auscultation Brass at Glossbrenner United Methodist Church on Sunday, June 24, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. The event is hosted by Harry s Heroes. The Auscultation Brass is a group of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Doctors who in 1985 decided it would be fun to practice their brass instruments in addition to medicine. While developing a large repertoire of classical and popular music they have performed widely at various community functions including medical events, retirement communities, and local churches. They even played outside of Carnegie Hall! Once they began to perform publicly they needed a name. After much consideration they chose the Auscultation Brass. For those not medical, auscultation is the physical skill that physicians use to listen to your body, usually with a stethoscope. For a change, the patients get to listen to their Doctors! A freewill offering will be taken. Light refreshments will be provided at the end of the concert. If you like, wear purple to honor those with Alzheimer s.
