The Brass program at Lawrence University provides students with a superb foundation in solo, chamber, brass, jazz, and orchestral literature. All students study with full time performance faculty and participate in weekly studio classes that focus on individual performance, technique, chamber music, and repertoire. All brass students have the opportunity to perform in major ensembles as well as brass quintets and other chamber configurations.
Since 1979, the Lawrence Brass, a faculty chamber group functioning as both quintet and brass ensemble, have appeared in recital on campus, in secondary schools, and live over Wisconsin Public Radio as frequent performers on the Sunday afternoon Elvehjem Art Museum series in Madison.
