Description
Since its founding in 1983, by Michael Levine, the Dallas Brass has become one of America's foremost musical ensembles. The group has established a unique blend of traditional brass instruments with a full complement of drums and percussion, which creates a performing entity of extraordinary range and musical challenges. The Dallas Brass repertoire includes classical masterpieces, Dixieland, swing, Broadway, Hollywood and patriotic music. In addition to their solo engagements, the Dallas Brass also appears with symphony orchestras nationwide. Symphonic credits include the Cincinnati Pops, New York Pops, and the Philly Pops. The Dallas Brass has performed at Carnegie Hall, the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and has toured overseas to Europe and the Far East. The ensemble has a strong dedication to working with young musicians, and has developed an extensive "Music in the Schools" project. The Dallas Brass has released five recordings: "Debut," "Dallas Brass II," "A Merry Christmas with Brass," "Windborne," and "Nutcracker," some of which will be for sale following the concert.
