Thank You to all of our Supporters and Partners in helping us bring the unique brass band sound to our Huntsville audience!
Thank You for enabling us to “Share some brass band love!” with our unique, quality-of-life-enhancing, music listening and performing experience.

Supported in part by the Huntsville Arts & Cultural Grant Fund, a program of the City of Huntsville and Arts Huntsville.

Supported in part by the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the Alabama “Support the Arts” License Plate Programs.

This evening’s program offers a dynamic blend of cinematic and pop favorites,
showcasing the versatility and power of the brass band tradition.

Prepare to be transported to galaxies far, far away
with selections from
Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Hook, both composed by the legendary John Williams.

The Mansions of the Lord from the motion picture
We Were Soldiers
and the rousing
The Great Escape March
evoke moving and heroic themes.

The adventurous spirit
continues with
Pirates of the Caribbean.

A special highlight of the night features
Classics in Brass, joined by the talented young musicians of
Huntsville Junior High School,
directed by John Lennard -
adding a fun, collaborative moment to the concert.
