Bold City Brass, founded in 1980 in Jacksonville,Florida, is proud to bring quality music to the greater Jacksonville community and beyond. Membership for the ensemble draws upon musicians from across Northeast Florida and is comprised of professional musicians, retired music teachers, and other fine players. From its inception, the band has always been a volunteer group, performing in concert and often in support of other organizations at a variety of events and official functions. The collective spirit of the band is based on the simple joy of making good music together.
Bold City Brass has modeled itself after a variety of brass bands, including British brass bands, historical brass ensembles and traditional brass quintets and quartets that use historic valved instruments from the Civil War era. Currently musicians all perform on contemporary brass instruments.
Bold City Brass is comprised of two performing groups. The full Bold City Brass Band, comprised of 22 players, is fashioned in the British Band tradition. Made up of ten players, the smaller group, Bold City Brass Ensemble, performs in more intimate venues.
Under the direction of conductor Dr. Eric A. Becher, Bold City Brass has expanded its repertoire to include music from a variety of genres and periods. Our mission to continue the tradition of quality brass band performance allows us to engage our community by providing inspiring concerts and music education programs.
