Acclaimed in Bostonia Magazine as “one of the nation’s finest chamber ensembles,” the Beacon Brass quintet was the first brass ensemble ever to win the prestigious Concert Artists Guild award in 1983. Beacon Brass has performed throughout the United States, on radio and television, and recorded the theme music for “The Advocates” for PBS. In addition to concert venues, Beacon Brass has been featured at prestigious special events including a Carnegie Hall recital, the opening ceremonies of the John F. Kennedy Library and the centennial dinner for members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Beacon Brass is noted for their expertise across a wide spectrum of music, having presented nine world premiere performances and commissioned several new works. In recent years, Beacon Brass has been featured in informal lecture/recitals with famed Boston Pops conductor, Keith Lockhart.
