The Syracuse University Brass Ensemble (SUBE), directed by James T. Spencer, continues its spring concert season with a “1914 Revue” at the historic Capitol Theatre (220 West Dominick St.) in Rome, N.Y. The concert is Sunday, March 30, at 3 p.m.

Administered by SU’s College of Arts and Sciences, SUBE will be joined by Master of Ceremonies Gerry Orlando, trombonist David DiGennaro '90, pianists Edward Clute and Greg Unangst, novelty singer Jack Theakston, soprano Alice Loomis, singers Shane Davis and Denise Morganti, and theater organist Jim Ford.

Tickets are $10 (adults), $8 seniors, $6 (Capitol Friends), and $3 (children 12 and under) and may be purchased by calling 315-337-6453 or visiting romecapitol.com.

“We’re excited to return to The Capitol Theatre for what is the highlight of our spring run,” says Spencer, who also arranges for and plays with the group. “The concert is a virtual time capsule, allowing people to relive the sights and sounds of a bygone era. There’s something here for everyone.”

SUBE will perform a grab-bag of selections, ranging from classical chestnuts (e.g., Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony and Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique), to popular marches (e.g., Sousa’s Columbia’s Pride and Alford’s Colonel Bogey), to lively songs and rags (e.g., Handy’s St. Louis Blues and Joplin’s Stoptime Rag). DiGennaro will be the featured soloist in Arthur Pryor’s Fantastic Polka. 

Rounding out the afternoon will be a variety of music-hall numbers, an audience sing-along, a fully staged scene from the play On Trial, and several short films.

“I can’t think of a better venue in which to present this program,” says Spencer, also a Meredith Professor of chemistry and an associate dean in The College of Arts and Sciences. “With its full-size stage and orchestra pit, The Capitol is a gem among movie houses in Central and Upstate New York. Playing there is like being transported back in time.”
