The Infinity Brass Quintet and special guest Livingston Taylor will be in cahoots next week when the Martha’s Vineyard Chamber Music Society concert performs Peter Schickele’s Wild West spoof, Hornsmoke: A Horse Opera.

This isn’t one of those yawn-inducing warbles. It is five shiny brass horns playing five characters, among them Hero and Villain, Saloon Keeper, Virtuous Daughter and pious Clergyman. The Island singer-songwriter, as narrator, will keep nefarious deeds from getting out of hand. The action starts Monday at 8 p.m. at the Old Whaling Church in Edgartown, and repeats Tuesday at the Chilmark Community Center.

Breathing life into these characters will be Infinity Brass, with Christopher Moore and Wayne Du Maine on trumpets, Paul Stevens on horn, Andrew Malloy, trombone and Scott Watson, tuba.

Also on the program will be Peter Schickele’s 12-month Brass Calendar, written in 1993 for brass quintet to celebrate our national holidays. Ludwig Maurer’s Three Pieces for Brass Quintet, Joseph Turrin’s Solarium for Brass Quartet and Piano, and Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto in C Major for Two Trumpets, RV537. The music society’s artistic director and pianist, Delores Stevens, will join four of the horns in the Turrin Solarium.

Peter Schickele — composer, musician, author and satirist — is also known as the composer P.D.Q. Bach, umptieth son of J.S. Bach. Other irreverent works by Peter Schickele are Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice, The Triumphs of Thusnelda, and Cantata: Blaues Gras. He is also known as the voice of Schickele Mix, a music program heard weekly on National Public Radio.

Raffle tickets for Peggy Turner Zablotny’s fine art print, Composition for a Celebration, honoring the society’s 40th anniversary, will be sold at both concerts. The winning ticket will be drawn at the Chilmark concert on Tuesday.

Concert tickets are $30; students are free. For details, call 508-696-8055.
