Who we are:

We’re a very informal group of brass musicians who play for fun once a week in Santa Cruz, CA.

What we do:

We play brass quintet/ensemble works, mostly classical, but we’ll try anything. We have some favorites and we also do a lot of sight-reading.

When and Where we meet:

We meet most every Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and play for about two hours. Our rehearsal space is at 509-H Swift St., Santa Cruz (between Mission and Delaware). Map

Cost:

$10/month per musician to cover the studio rent, but newcomers are welcome to try us out for free. The space is large, well lit, has good acoustics, and it has a bathroom. Chairs are provided - bring a music stand!

If you are interested in joining us or finding out more about us, or if you have any questions, please send us an email.
