Brass Ensemble

Community members are encouraged to have at least two years of musical experience before joining this ensemble.

The Brass Ensemble is an ensemble designed to offer performance opportunities for community members of the greater Morgantown, West Virginia area. This ensemble explores repertoire that is performed by traditional British brass bands, brass chamber selections, popular music, and contemporary music. Any brass musician who wishes to keep music in their lives as a recreational and aesthetic activity is welcome. The fall term will include eight rehearsals and conclude with an end-of-term concert. No audition is required to become a member.
