This show has been a huge hit with audiences of all ages from all across the country, truly featuring something for everyone to go home singing.
The group will bring famous classical and opera music as well as rock and pop tunes on trumpets, trombone, horn, tuba, keyboard, guitar, and drums. This one-of-a-kind concert features music from Mozart and Brahms to popular selections from Bizet’s Carmen.
