Southern Stars Symphonic Brass will present its winter concert, “Valentines in Brass,” on Sunday, Feb. 12, in Crossville, Tenn. Two guest soloists from the Cumberland County Playhouse staff will be featured with the SSSB, a 30-piece professional instrumental ensemble.

Nicole Hackmann will sing “Our Love Is Here To Stay,” and Jason Ross will present the Bobby Darin big-band version of “Hello, Dolly.” The singers also will perform a medley of selections from the musical “Oklahoma.”

Band-only selections will include “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “The Girl I Left Behind Me,” “De-Lovely,” “Molly on the Shore,” the “El Capitan” and “Huntress” marches, Holst’s Second Suite in F Major, Capriccio for Trombone and “Appassionata,” which features a baritone horn solo.

Southern Stars Symphonic Brass was founded in 2008 by Dwight Wages, a cornet player from Crossville. It is under the baton of Dr. Steven Sudduth of the University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg, Ky.
