The Keystone Brass Quintet will perform classical and pop music at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14, in the nave of St. Paul United Methodist Church, 750 Norland Ave., Chambersburg.

The quintet was founded in 1976. Now over 30 years later and with more than 300 performances in the tri-state area to their credit, most of the five founding members remain with the ensemble. The cohesive nature of the ensemble playing and richness of their sound is due in a large part to the high level of musicianship of the unchanging personnel. The ensemble's extensive repertoire includes Renaissance and Baroque music from the 16th and 17th centuries, romantic melodies, Broadway show tunes, big band music, marches, opera, and contemporary pieces.

Members of the quintet are active musicians from the central Pennsylvania area. They include Doug Winemiller on trumpet, Peter Johnston on trumpet, Stephen Burg on horn, Michael Dietz on trombone and Sy Brandon on tuba.

The concert is open to the public; a free-will offering will be taken. The audience is invited to a reception following the concert.
