Westwind Brass delivers virtuosic ensemble performances, interesting music, unique stories, engaging interaction with the audience, and lots of chuckles, providing two hours of delightful fun for audiences of all ages.
Westwind Brass achieves its mission through the following activities:
Each year, Westwind Brass makes a commitment to perform at 30 schools in the San Diego region. We plan to provide our educational outreach programs for Title I schools throughout San Diego County.
Our Organization Presents concerts of the entire spectrum of brass music from classical to music of other cultures and jazz. Engages children and adults through a variety of outreach educational experiences such as lecture demonstrations, workshops, master classes, and in school concerts. Supports national and international touring of the ensemble, regularly produces recordings featuring the ensemble’s unique repertoire. Preserves the art form of classical brass instruments both in their original sound and in their evolution to modern arrangements.
Our students are socio-economically disadvantaged, so exposure to music is certainly welcomed and appreciated. Your group certainly ‘planted the seed’ of developing our interest in music. I was observing our students and they were totally engaged the entire time.
