Sunday September 21, 3 pm - Zephyr Brass Collective with Poet Bryan Roth
Based in Denver, Colorado, the Zephyr Brass Collective is a bold new voice in brass chamber music, uniting technical mastery with a fresh, genre-blurring approach. This dynamic quintet thrives on reinvention—breathing new life into classical favorites, championing cutting-edge contemporary works, and reimagining modern pop and jazz with brass-driven ingenuity.
Collaboration lies at the heart of Zephyr’s mission. The ensemble works closely with composers to expand the brass quintet repertoire while engaging audiences through performances that radiate spontaneity and virtuosity. Deeply rooted in Colorado’s creative community, they balance artistic ambition with approachability, pairing riveting musicianship with workshops and outreach initiatives that inspire budding musicians and listeners alike.
From fiery premieres to inventive arrangements of today’s hits, the Zephyr Brass Collective crafts experiences that are both intimate and electrifying. With a commitment to originality and connection, they invite audiences to discover brass chamber music reimagined: vibrant, daring, and irresistibly alive.
