Made In America – Alliance Brass

Brass Quintet

Made in America is a celebration of 250 years of American music.

The selections of this program cover a wide variety of styles, as is very fitting of this beautifully diverse country; including everything from Aaron Copland’s ballet Rodeo to American folk songs like America the Beautiful to orchestral music like Leroy Anderson’s Bugler’s Holiday to popular songs like Paul Simon’s Bridge Over Troubled Water and Stevie Wonder’s Sir Duke to the marches of John Philip Sousa!

Acclaimed as “the perfect blend of virtuosity and vitality” (Chicago Brass Festival), the Alliance Brass has emerged as one of the country’s most exciting ensembles.
