Chicago Brass Band Details
The Chicago Brass Band is a 30-piece brass and percussion ensemble formed in the British brass band tradition but with a Chicago flair. The band, led by six-time NABBA championship conductor Colin Holman, was founded in 2002.In its first decade, the Chicago Brass Band has won the NABBA Championship, competed in the inaugural World Music Contest in The Netherlands, participated in the renowned Whit Friday Marches in England, and twice been a featured ensemble in front of 40,000 brass fans at the Great American Brass Festival. The band's favorite activity, however, remains dazzling audiences in Chicago, one of the world's premiere cities for brass musicianship. The band has particularly enjoyed recent performances with soloists drawn from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's celebrated brass section, including Chris Martin, Charlie Vernon, Gene Pokorny, and Mark Ridenour.Additionally, the Chicago Brass Band has continued engaging young musicians with its Project Horizon initiative, a program developed to promote and enhance the performance and enjoyment of live music in public schools. Through collaborative concerts, workshops, and clinics, the band inspires students to continue to perform and enjoy live music at a high level into and throughout adulthood, even if they do not pursue music as their chosen profession.
