Trinkle Brass Works presents Portable Masterpieces
Event Date: 
January 11, 2014 (All day)

Trinkle Brass Works presents Portable Masterpieces, a salon/theater orchestra that will bring this music to life at Piper’s Opera House on Saturday, January 11, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. Light classical, ragtime and plenty of melodrama.
