In 2009 Kalamazoo Brass helped pioneer the highly successful and innovative concert series, "Christmas in Kalamazoo: Ringers, Singers, and Joyous Noise Bringers," in collaboration with the Kalamazoo Ringers and the Kalamazoo Male Chorus.

 

Since their formation, Kalamazoo Brass has taken a particular interest in providing professional quality music for private events and ceremonies and in doing so, has become the leading brass quintet for weddings and ceremonies in Southwest Michigan.

 

As educators, the members of Kalamazoo Brass have a mission to inspire a passion for music in the next genereation.  All of its members are very active music instructors, teaching individual private lessons as well as leading master classes and workshops in area schools and universities.
