River City Brass Band

The River City Brass Band combines the richness of a symphony orchestra, the intimacy of a chamber ensemble, the toe-tapping brilliance of a military band, and the swinging sound of a big band. Founded in 1981, RCBB is comprised of 25 brass players and three percussionists. “It’s not a reach to say this may be the most fun with music you’re going to have all year.” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

RCBB’s extensive touring repertoire includes American tunes, Big Band swing and jazz, music from Broadway and Hollywood, classical and contemporary masterworks and traditional marches. Residency activities include instrument master classes, workshops, school/community center outreach programs and side-by-side rehearsals for students with RCBB musicians.
