“Who needs voices, or the rest of the orchestra, when a group of such finesse is breathing new life into familiar delicacies?” —Gramophone

 

Camp Concert Hall, Booker Hall of Music

The Washington Symphonic Brass is composed of some of the finest professional musicians in the Washington/Baltimore area. While the members are in constant demand for orchestral, solo and chamber music performances, they have assembled to play some of the great literature written for large brass ensemble. Formed out of a love of, and excitement about, this fine literature, the WSB performs throughout the Washington and Baltimore metropolitan areas, appearing at some of the great performance spaces on the east coast. Specializing in compositions written for large brass ensemble and percussion with organs, choruses and other instruments optional, the varied repertoire of the Washington Symphonic Brass covers five centuries. The Richmond concert features brass arrangements of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana and Igor Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring.
