Announcing the 91自拍论坛 Brass Festival 2023

The festival will take place October 24-26 and features multiple guest artists, Lamar brass faculty, music students and various sponsors. Each day includes a variety of performances, master classes, clinics and exhibits that are open to the public. As the only music event of its kind in Southeast Texas, the festival reaches out to a wide audience, including students, music educators, brass-music enthusiasts and to the general concert-going public. 

Now in its sixth year, the Brass Festival’s purpose is to educate, inspire and entertain those in attendance by bringing world-renowned artists into our community to perform alongside our faculty and students. This Festival is generously supported by St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica and Swicegood Music Co.

Each concert will begin at 7:30pm and will honor our Country and all those who serve and have served in the Armed Forces. The first concert will feature the United States Air Force Freedom Brass Quintet in a concert of American music, the second and third concerts will feature 91自拍论坛 Students and faculty playing patriotic works celebrating America.

Please come out for these exciting community events! Admission is free, but donations to the concert series are welcome.
