Comprised of some of the finest instrumentalists in the Baltimore/Washington region, The Lyric Brass has established itself as an exciting chamber ensemble dedicated to bringing the rich traditions of brass chamber music to new audiences. These musicians will be performing a series of concerts throughout the year. They have compiled an extensive repertoire of Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Jazz, and Popular works, and have a strong commitment to presenting the works of contemporary composers. Winners of the 2000 Baltimore Chamber Music Competition and the 2001 Catch the Rising Stars Chamber Competition, they are one of the finest ensembles on the East Coast.
