ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE

The Houston Brass Band (HBB) was formed in 2000 by several brass enthusiasts inspired by the British film “Brassed Off”. In the early years, HBB performed at festivals, small concerts, and patriotic events. As HBB’s musicianship grew, so did the group’s scope and reach, including performances at Jones Hall, Zilkha Hall, Houston Arboretum, Festival Hill, MATCH Theater, POST Houston, Downtown Houston Library, and the Texas Bandmasters Association in San Antonio. In the 2021 Whit Friday competition, HBB placed 3rd in the First Section.

In 2022, Dr. Rick Spitz was appointed music director and is fulfilling HBB’s mission to share the unique British brass band style and sound through inspiring, engaging, and entertaining performances. Prior leadership includes Damon Hilsmeir (2000-2005), Robert Walp (2006-2020) and Ryan Rongone (2021). Youth outreach is also an essential part of the Band’s mission. In 2015 HBB began the annual Young Brass Soloist Competition where young musician perform for a panel of prominent musicians.

Since 2000, the Houston Brass Band has established itself as one of the premier brass groups in Houston, Texas. Their mission is to:

• Broadly share the unique British brass band style and sound,
• Provide our audience with inspiring, engaging, and entertaining performances of the highest musical and artistic quality,
• Educate and inspire young musicians through outreach programs and performance opportunities, and
• Support diversity and inclusiveness in music and the arts.
