Presidio Brass

Hailing from America's Finest City, San Diego, California, Presidio Brass is a dynamic force in American brass chamber music.

With a unique and exciting repertoire written specifically for the ensemble, Presidio Brass is committed to providing engaging musical programs as well as developing close ties to their audiences. They have concertized nationally, presenting concerts and educational outreach programs throughout the United States.

Presidio Brass has performed in over 25 states and was on the touring roster for Nashville-based Live on Stage for the 2007-2008 season and asked back by popular demand for the 2009-2010 season after being noted as the finest brass group to have ever been associated with the organization.

The ensemble first came together with the primary mission to promote music education and appreciation in the next generation. That commitment continues to be exhibited each time Presidio Brass goes out on tour; every performance is coupled with a masterclass or school program for which the members of the quintet volunteer their time. Their educational programs have garnered the attention of newspapers throughout the country, including the San Diego Union-Tribune.

In 2008, members of Presidio Brass furthered their educational goals when they formed a 501c3 non-profit music charity called Musicate the Mind. Through
Musicate the Mind, funding is made available to promote educational programs, outreach performances and commissioning of new music.
