Brassworks is a live brass band led by Frank Beau Davis. They sound much better in person than in this clip.

Scottish Rite Center in Oakland has a beautiful ballroom for this event.

Another time Gaskell with a polka by Johann Strauß junior, this time the Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka. Gaskells "Victorian Balls" seem mostly consist of works by this Viennese composer, "the King of Waltz"...!
