Seraph Brass: Live in Concert at the Pearl Street Arts Center

Seraph Brass, now in its 12th season, was founded by trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden with a mission to showcase the excellence of women brass players and to highlight musicians from marginalized groups, both in personnel and in programming. Winners of the American Prize in Chamber Music, the group has been praised for its “beautiful sounds" (American Record Guide), "fine playing” (Gramophone), and “staggeringly high caliber of performance” (Textura). In addition to quintet performances and residencies, Seraph performs as a 10-piece ensemble, as soloists with large ensembles , and in collaboration with other chamber artists. Seraph released their new album Showcase in March of 2025 through Tower Grove Records, featuring new works for brass quintet by Jeff Scott, Reena Esmail, Kevin Day, and Kevin McKee.

Seraph Brass is making their way back to the Pearl Street Arts Center for a special Seraph Brass Summer Seminar, a one-week intensive chamber music experience designed for musicians seeking artistic growth, collaboration, and inspiration. Participants receive daily chamber music coaching with members of Seraph Brass, take part in masterclasses, and perform in a side-by-side concert with faculty, and its all taking place at Pearl Arts!
