Colorado Brass

New in 2026!

Youth Program: This fall Colorado Brass launched our first ever full season of the Colorado Brass Youth Program (CBYP), with 7 months of rehearsals, masterclasses, and performances. The youth band features 30+ aspiring Young Musicians and will perform 2 Stand-alone Concerts during the season. The Youth Program has many Financial Needs to operate, including Financial Aid that ensures that all students are able to participate, Music Library purchases, and the acquisition of 18 Specialized Brass Instruments that are unique to the brass band (cornets, tenor horns, Eb tubas, etc.). Your support will help us make it possible!
