The latest epic project from the fecund musical imagination of Jazz Mafia godfather Adam Theis, the Brass Convergence fulfills a long-time dream of the Bay Area’s essential bandleader, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. Looking to enhance the sense of community amongst the region’s various brass aggregations, he’s engineered the Convergence, a one-day festival featuring numerous surprise ensembles rooted in far-flung brass traditions that all heavily utilize horns and percussion (including top members of the funk and hip-hop inflected Jazz Mafia). The program culminates in a finale composed and led by Theis for a monster ensemble of more than 100 performers.
