Chicago Brass Festival

[Steve Marcus]

At the Chicago Brass Festival on March 14 and 15, performances by Rebirth Brass Band, Wycliff Gordon, Rex Richardson, V3NTO Brass Trio, and Chicago Metropolitan Brass Ensemble will take place.

Euphonium soloist from the Netherlands, Robbert Vos, will conduct a Master Class and perform with Chicago Brass Band.

Are any TubeNetters planning to attend? Any tuba/euphonium-related vendors planning to have a display among the exhibits?
