This program features some of the most memorable American music specially arranged for brass quintet.  Iconic tunes from Broadway shows, films, jazz, rock, soul and R&B will be the centerpiece of this concert. And of course, a few marches and patriotic tunes to round out the program!  Brentwood Brass includes two trumpets, french horn, trombone, and tuba plus two in-house arrangers who create unique renditions of great music you know and love.
