Spartanburg Methodist College is pleased to welcome the Greenville Brass Quintet to their Gibbs Auditorium stage to perform on Monday, October 7th at 7 p.m.
The Greenville Brass Quintet was created to advance the art and promote the appreciation of quality brass chamber music throughout South Carolina and the Southeast.
