The concert series offers the Syracuse community the highest quality of arts at no cost. See below for parking and accessibility information.

Since 1986 Boston Brass has set out to establish a one-of-a-kind musical experience featuring colorful classical arrangements, burning jazz standards, and the best of original brass repertoire. Boston Brass treats audiences to a unique brand of musical entertainment that bridges the ocean of classical formality, delighting regular concertgoers and newcomers alike with great music and boisterous fun in performances across all 50 U.S. states and over 30 countries to date.
Music education is at the core of Boston Brass’s identity and the quintet conducts sessions around the world in the form of masterclasses, residencies and collaborations, everywhere
from your local schools to major music conservatories. The quintet has longstanding relationships at many institutions, most notably Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Singapore and North Dakota State University, both schools having named Boston Brass “Visiting Ensemble in Residence” starting in 2024. Boston Brass is also proud to be a member of the International Artistic Advisory Council to the College of Music at Mahidol University in Bangkok, and in 2023 the group was inducted into the prestigious American Bandmasters Association as associate members.
The quintet’s newest album Blues for Sam features a mix of classical and jazz arrangements alongside old favorites and is dedicated to the late Sam Pilafian who can also be heard on Simple Gifts (2018), Reminiscing (2016), and Rewired (2015). Newly released in 2023 is the album Joe’s Tango, which introduces our world premiere of Jorge Machain’s Five Cities Concerto alongside the UNLV Wind Orchestra. Other ongoing Boston Brass projects include performances of Gordon Goodwin’s composition Perplexing Times, and premiere performances of Arturo Sandoval’s wind dectet written especially for Boston Brass and Imani Winds.
Boston Brass is a Yamaha Performing Group and performs exclusively on Yamaha instruments.
