Festival Artist Faculty: The Bay Brass
Acclaimed soloists, orchestral musicians, and ensemble players, these brassplayers
have created a reputation for their unique sound: more powerful than loud,
the sound varies over the brass palette from a rich golden tone to an incisive
yet glowing presence which can infuse an entire orchestra or shine in solo
playing. Their specialty: coaching student brass quintets to develop a sense
of tonal integrity and to pass on their esthetic of sound. Come study with
these brilliant practitioners.
