Through interesting anecdotes and beautiful pieces of music, ROHM’s complimentary presentation on brass instruments will illustrate the distinctive sound of various brass instruments and explain the role of each in symphonic concerts. This entertaining and educational event for families will enhance the participants’ enjoyment of future concerts at the Royal Opera House.


The brass section of an orchestra features a family of instruments that are made of brass, such as the trumpet, the trombone, the French horn and the tuba.


Brass instruments can produce a dramatically loud or ‘big’ sound and give added strength and power to the sound of the orchestra. Trumpets are historically associated with royal or military events, while the tuba has become a modern jazz instrument. Among the famous works featuring a brass instrument are Mozart’s four beautiful horn concertos composed between 1783 and 1791. With these wonderful concertos Mozart made the French horn famous in a brilliant demonstration of its virtues.


The exciting and lively music of Mozart’s horn concertos is associated with the hunt on horseback.


ROHM’s Presentation on Brass Instruments, a free ticket event for families will be held at 4.00 pm on Tuesday March 28, 2016. For information and booking, consult the ROHM website - www.rohmuscat.org.om
