The Eastern Virginia Brass is dedicated to performing the best of the brass
repertoire for audiences. Formal recitals, informal family concerts comprise a mainstay
of this ensemble's mission. Just as important are the educational concerts performed
to the rave reviews of thousands of school age youngsters from Williamsburg to North
Carolina.
The members of the Eastern Virginia Brass are professional musicians and award-winning
music educators who perform and communicate the best of the brass repertoire.
The Eastern Virginia Brass is pleased to announce that it has for a second season been awarded a tour grant from the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
This grant allows the ensemble to reach new audiences and new venues beyond Hampton Roads. It encourages qualified, new presenters by subsidizing the ensemble up to 50% of the cost—and new presenters can be concert halls, historic sites, colleges, schools, parks, church concert series….
Last season the Eastern Virginia Brass performed from Virginia Beach to the Eastern Shore of Virginia to Farmville and looks forward to another year of wonderful (familiar and new) audiences.
Finances may be at low ebb for arts presenters, but this grant is a wonderful way to keep music alive for everyone. Please spread the good word. For more information, either contact the EVB directly or go to the
VCA tour directory.
