Since its founding in 1983 by Michael Levine, the Dallas Brass has become one
of America’s foremost musical ensembles. The group has established a unique
blend of traditional brass instruments with a full complement of drums and
percussion, which creates a performing entity of extraordinary range and musical
challenges. The Dallas Brass repertoire includes classical masterpieces,
Dixieland, swing, Broadway, Hollywood and patriotic music.
According to Mr. Levine, "a Dallas Brass concert is intended for the entire
family. Our ideal audience has a range in ages from 5 to 95. Our goal is to
entertain and enrich by playing great music, while showing our audience how much
we enjoy what we do."
In addition to their solo engagements, the Dallas Brass appears with symphony
orchestras nationwide. Symphonic credits include the Cincinnati Pops conducted
by Erich Kunzel, New York Pops conducted by Skitch Henderson, and the Philly
Pops conducted by Peter Nero. The Dallas Brass has performed at Carnegie Hall,
the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and has toured overseas to Europe
and the Far East. They have shared the stage with the late Bob Hope, have
performed for Presidents Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush, have appeared on the
CBS “Early Show,” and their music has been used numerous times on the television
show, “The Young & The Restless.”
The ensemble has released six recordings: Debut, Dallas Brass II, A Merry
Christmas with Brass, Windborne, Nutcracker and American Musical Journey. The
Dallas Brass has a strong dedication to working with young musicians, frequently
going into the public schools to present clinics and workshops for students of
all ages
