The University of Southern Maine School of Music will kick off its season with two Faculty Concert Series performances in February.

The Portland Brass Quintet will present “Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue,” at 8 p.m. Friday at Corthell Concert Hall on the Gorham campus. The event will feature quintet staples by J.S. Bach, Victor Ewald and Morley Calvert, recent compositions by Kevin McKee and John Stevens, and familiar jazz standards.

A popular Valentine’s Day tradition will continue as violinist Ronald Lantz and pianist Laura Kargul deliver “Victorian Passions” at 2 p.m. Feb. 12 at Woodfords Congregational Church in Portland. The duo will open the concert with the rarely performed “Romance No. 3 for Violin and Piano” by Clara Schumann.

Portland Brass Quintet members are Betty Rines and Dana Russian, trumpets; John Boden, horn; Mark Manduca, trombone; and Jobey Wilson, tuba.
