What a phenomenal season it has been so far!

We want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who has come out to support our brass ensemble this year. Our 2026 season has already been filled with incredible energy, and we have loved sharing our music with so many wonderful audiences. Best of all, thanks to your incredible support, we also just reached a major milestone and awarded our first-ever $1,000 instrumental music scholarship to a talented local high school senior!

We are heading into the final stretch of our summer schedule, and we don’t want you to miss out. We have 5 performances left, including 3 final opportunities that are completely open to the public to experience our feature program: "A Tribute to American Composers, Singers, and Songwriters"

Get ready for an authentic brass celebration of the melodies that shaped American music—featuring everything from the high-octane energy of jazz fusion and swing classics like "Birdland," "A Night in Tunisia," and "Caravan," to beautifully arranged medleys of timeless favorites.
