The Austin Brass Band presents their Holiday Concert where they will be performing a mix of well-known holiday favorites along with some pieces unique to the British Brass Band Christmas tradition, including music by Leroy Anderson, Eric Ball, Peter Graham, and more!

Founded in 2005, the Austin Brass Band is one of only a handful of British style brass bands in Texas—and the only one in the Austin area! Using only brass and percussion instruments, it stands apart from marching bands or wind ensembles, both of which typically include woodwinds. It also has a mellower sound than an American big band due to using cornets rather than trumpets, and tenor (sometimes called alto) horns instead of French horns.


Bring a friend and come experience this unique sound for yourself. We’d love to see you there!
