FROM THE VENUE:

“We’re thrilled to have the Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass back on the calendar after the Omicron variant forced us to postpose their performance last season. The internationally-acclaimed brass ensemble includes some of America’s top musicians, led by inimitable trumpet sensation, Rodney Marsalis. 

The program is filled with recognizable favorites from every genre, such as Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus, Broadway hits from West Side Story and others, New Orleans jazz staples like When The Saints Go Marching In, and iconic American pop songs, including Can’t Help Falling in Love.

The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass is America’s premier large brass ensemble. A group that always reflects the diverse makeup of men and women in the American culture, RMPBB is dedicated to the notion that music is a gift to be enjoyed by everyone. The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass is a family-owned and operated business that had its beginnings on the streets of New Orleans. On the advice of family patriarch Ellis Marsalis, the group created a concert format that breaks the usual barriers between genres and strives to create a connection between the audience and performers. The ensemble is especially dedicated to reaching out to the world’s youth and inspiring them to reach for their dreams.”
