The Grant County Community Concert Association presents C Street Brass on Friday, November 14th in the WNMU Fine Arts Theater at 7 PM.

C Street Brass is the project of five incredibly handsome friends. On stage their brass instruments come alive as they take you on a tour of musical styles you will recognize from the past on into the future. They deliver on their mission to connect music lovers from all walks of life through concert experiences that are energetic and engaging.

During an Ensemble in Residence at Carnegie Mellon University from 2012 – 2015 the group fell in love with the thriving music scene of Pittsburgh, PA where the group is now based. They have been featured in a number of performing arts series around the United States and internationally.

Holly Noonan, director of the Crooked Forest Institute, will speak to Rotary at noon Nov 18th at the GMC conference room. The Institute is a sustainable community and economic development project in Grant County. 

Holly partnered with veteran Earthen Architect Joseph Kennedy to develop business scenarios where small, non-toxic adobe homes could once again become housing for low- and moderate-income New Mexicans. The inspiration for the project came from her own experience of homelessness after an illness made her too sensitive to chemicals to live in a conventionally built home. By pairing a Vocational Education program with a Nonprofit Housing Developer program, Crooked Forest Institute aims to create durable, fireproof and carbon-negative neighborhoods on a local Community Land Trust.
