Market Street Brass

In Tyler February 28 - March 1, 2008

The Market Street Brass spent three days doing clinics throughout the East Texas area Thursday, Friday, and Saturday February 28th, 29th, and March 1st.

The Market Street Brass was founded in 1974 as the resident faculty brass quintet at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. The quintet performs music in all styles from Renaissance to jazz in a variety of settings. Some 50 or more engagements per year include concerts, services, and music for special events. Particularly noteworthy are the many Christmas Concerts and performances in church services during the months of November and December.  They have just returned from a long list of performances in China.
