“The Way of the Cross” A Good Friday Musical Meditation with BRASS ROOTS TRIO

Brass Roots Trio’s “The Way of the Cross” is an inspirational Lenten program of American spirituals, jazz and contemporary sacred music interwoven with scripture and meditations. The readings and music are based on human emotions ranging from despair to pain to hope as Christ makes His way to the cross.

Equally at home on the concert stage and in the church sanctuary, Brass Roots Trio has inspired audiences in every corner of the US and England.  Since 2004 the trio has performed at hundreds of venues and festivals, including the Chicago Brass Festival, St. James Piccadilly in London, Oxford University, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the Crystal Cathedral and on Community Concert Series, Chamber Music Series and NPR.  In 2009 Brass Roots Trio was honored to perform for President and Mrs. Obama and their guests at the White House.   

Rosetta Senkus Bacon (piano), Travis Heath (trumpet and flugelhorn) and Douglas Lundeen (French horn and voice) infuse their music with passion and exuberant energy. Individually they have demonstrated their prodigious talents across the country and around the world with engagements at the Kennedy Center in Washington, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in NY, and at Cultural Centers and festivals in Switzerland, England, Ireland, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium, The Czech Republic, Lithuania, China, Japan, Taiwan and Costa Rico.

From cathedrals to small country churches in the heartland of America, Brass Roots Trio has touched the hearts of thousands of listeners with a ministry that reaches beyond musical style or a certain religion.
