7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

Join us at the Hallowed Halls for Acrostic Sounds, a celebration of the release of our second full-length album, Pan-American Expressions — a vibrant collection of brass quintet works from across the American continents. Stay for an unforgettable evening of contemporary brass music, featuring everything from the high-octane energy of Anthony DiLorenzo’s Go to the bold colors of Reena Esmail’s Khirkiyaan and the intricate textures of Jennifer Higdon’s Book of Brass. Our commitment to presenting works by underrepresented composers is at the heart of this dynamic program. There’s truly something for everyone.
