The Yankee Brass Band, made up of up to 25 musicians from across the country who gather every July, will perform Thursday, July 28, at Bates College. The band is a historically accurate recreation of an American brass band from the mid-19th century. Directed by Paul Maybery, the ensemble performs music of the period in authentic arrangements and on original instruments. The 6 p.m. concert is part of the 2011 Midsummer Lakeside Concert Series. Concerts are at the Florence Keigwin Amphitheater by the college’s Lake Andrews. Admission is free. Listeners are encouraged to bring a picnic and lawn chairs or blankets. An alternative site will be announced if it rains. For more information, call 786-6400.
