 The members of the Eastman Brass are all on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester. Since its formation in 1964, the Eastman Brass has delighted audiences with its varied and imaginative chamber music repertoire.
The ensemble has traveled extensively throughout North America, appearing in prestigious concert series at New York's Alice Tully Hall and Merkin Hall, Chicago's Orchestra Hall, and Houston's Stude Hall. They have also toured Israel and Central and South America.
The members of the Eastman Brass have variously appeared with the Rochester, Chautauqua, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Baltimore, National, Vancouver, Montreal, Atlanta, and Phoenix symphonies.
Eastman Brass was also featured on "CBS Sunday Morning" with Charles Kuralt, and was the subject of a thirteen-part series on the American Public Radio.
Ever committed to its educational mission, Eastman Brass has appeared at numerous conventions, of professional societies as well as at leading universities throughout the United States.
In March of 2001, an appearance with members of Ottawa's National Arts Centre Orchestra provided the audience in the nation's capital with the rare treat of hearing chamber music combined with the haunting sounds of muted brass and in October 2002 the quintet travelled to Germany where they participated, with resounding success, in the 14th German Brass Academy. |
