Enjoy a splendid evening of brilliant brass by an all-female quintet, spanning music from the classical, romantic and contemporary periods.
Seraph Brass was founded by trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden with the mission of elevating and showcasing the excellence of female brass players and highlighting musicians from marginalized groups both in personnel and in programming. Winners of the American Prize in Chamber Music, the group has been praised for their "beautiful sounds" (American Record Guide), "fine playing" (Gramophone) and "staggeringly high caliber of performance" (Textura Magazine). Now in its ninth touring season, Seraph primarily performs as a quintet, with a dynamic roster drawing from America's top brass musicians. The group is currently in residency at the Walton Art Center's Artosphere Festival, alongside the Dover Quartet. Seraph Brass is a Yamaha Performing Group and performs exclusively on Yamaha instruments.
Seraph performs a diverse body of repertoire, ranging from original transcriptions to newly commissioned works and core classics. The group has commissioned new pieces by Catherine McMichael and Rene Orth; both featured on the Silver Medal Global Music Award-winning debut album Asteria. The group regularly participates in commissioning consortiums, recently supporting works by Kevin Day, Mischa Zupko and Lillian Yee. In 2023, Seraph will premiere a new wind ensemble arrangement of Anthony DiLorenzo's Chimera at the 2023 American Trombone Workshop with the United States Army Band "Pershing's Own" and later will premiere and perform a new concerto commission from Jennifer Jolley with Texas Tech University. The group will return to Lieksa Brass week in Finland this summer.
