New in 2025!

Youth Program: The Colorado Brass launched the Colorado Brass Youth Program (CBYP) in May of this year, creating the first ever Colorado Brass Youth Band for an intensive weekend of rehearsal, masterclasses, and performance. 45 aspiring young musicians participated in the weekend and the group performed side-by-side with the Colorado Brass.
