The Hoffman Brass Ensemble

Music and the Internet are two elements which have worked well together for through the marvel of science, we are able to share performances with likeminded musicians throughout the world

Such is the case here where a good friend from Australia has allowed us to attend, if only second handedly, a recent concert in the far off continent.

Elaine Johnson has been very active in sharing her musical talents as well as her true love for music with musicians around the world and for that reason I wanted to applaud her for her endless drive and refreshing enthusiasm for our art form.

Her promotion of chamber music as well as live concerts should be an inspiration to us all.

Now sit back and observe a true worrier for our cause.
