About the Musician: 

Founded in 1992, the La Moine Brass Quintet (LBQ) is the resident faculty brass quintet of the Western Illinois University School of Music. Dedicated to excellence in performance, pedagogy, and outreach, LBQ is a cornerstone of the university’s chamber music offerings and an active artistic presence throughout the region. The current ensemble includes Nicole Gilotti and Sarah Cisney (trumpets), Jena Gardner (horn), Jet Walker (trombone), and James Land (tuba). Together, the members of LBQ bring extensive experience as soloists, chamber musicians, orchestral performers, and educators, with recognition that spans national and international stages

“I belong to Westminster because of the splendid worship services, the caring pastor and the faith in action programs…. Westminster made me feel like a welcome part of the church family and allows me to share ‘time, treasure and talents.’ It is a very warm and inclusive congregation with great leadership.”
