A Brass and Organ Christmas at Grace Cathedral at Grace Cathedral

The Bay Brass was founded in 1995 and is comprised of brass players from the San Francisco Bay Area’s leading performing organizations, including the San Francisco Symphony, the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra and the San Francisco Opera Orchestra. The Bay Brass prides itself on the diversity of its programming, combining the traditional brass repertory with other contemporary styles and featuring a mix of large-scale symphonic brass ensemble works and compositions for smaller combinations of players. In 2000, The Bay Brass released their first CD, A Brass & Organ Christmas recorded in Grace Cathedral with organist John Fenstermaker. “If you’re looking for festive Christmas music by brass and organ,” noted The American Record Guide, “you won’t find a better recording than this one” (available for purchase at the concert!). Their most recent CD, Sound the Bells! featuring premiere recordings of recent American works for brass, was called “an absolute triumph” and was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in 2012 for “Best Small Ensemble Performance.”

This performance is 90 minutes with one intermission. Children are more than welcome to attend if they can quietly enjoy a 90-minute concert. Thank you for your understanding!
