Dallas Brass: American Musical Journey

Since its founding in 1983 by Michael Levine, the Dallas Brass has become one of America’s foremost musical ensembles. The group has established a unique blend of traditional brass instruments with a full complement of drums and percussion, which creates a performing entity of extraordinary range and musical challenges.  The Dallas Brass repertoire includes classical masterpieces, Dixieland, swing, Broadway, Hollywood, and patriotic music. According to Mr. Levine, "A Dallas Brass concert is intended for the entire family. Our ideal audience has a range in ages from 5 to 95.  Our goal is to entertain and enrich by playing great music while showing our audience how much we enjoy what we do." American Musical Journey incorporates a full complement of brass and percussion for a musical travelogue through American history. From the time of George Washington to the present day, music will be selected from the masters, including musical styles from Dixieland, Swing, Broadway, Folk, Patriotic, and Pop. Something for everybody! This event is generously sponsored by Carl Sandburg College.
