The Boston Brass (USA)

 


The new millennium is well underway and audiences and critics agree that the future is The Boston Brass. This fresh brass sensation is setting new standards in entertainment from exciting classical arrangements, to breathtaking vocal harmony, to burning jazz standards. Boston Brass is primed to achieve new levels in brass performance while treating audiences to a unique musical experience that captivates all ages. The ensemble's lively repartee, touched with humor and personality, bridges the vast ocean of classical formality to delight audiences to an evening of boisterous fun, exciting knowledge and an enthusiastic love of music, deftly exhibited by five brash brass players.

Boston Brass has transcended the traditional mores of brass ensemble literature and has pioneered a new generation of music that sets out to achieve one simple goal: entertain at all costs with blistering precision. Whether they are performing solo or with a symphony orchestra, the fun and emotion exhibited from this group is uniquely infectious and keeps audiences on their feet, demanding encore after encore.

Performing over 120 concerts annually, the members of Boston Brass have dazzled audiences at concerts and jazz festivals in such cities as New York, Portland, Seattle, Philadelphia, Detroit, Dallas, San Antonio, Minneapolis, Juneau, Sacramento, and Los Angeles. Committed to education as they are performance, they have conducted master classes at colleges and universities around the country including The Eastman School Of Music, University of Connecticut, Syracuse University, University of North Carolina, University of North Texas, Boston University, Yale, Notre Dame and U.C.L.A. Along with their instrument sponsor, C.G. Conn, Boston Brass has also conducted clinics and concerts at regional and national music educational conferences including New York, Massachusetts, Oregon, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Texas. In cooperation with C.G. Conn, Boston Brass has helped to raise over $100,000 for VH1’s “Save the Music” program, bringing much needed musical instruments to schools in need. Boston Brass is being sponsored at the WASBE 2005 Conference by C.G. Conn.
