| The Carnegie Brass The Carnegie Brass is a chamber group of rare musicianship and virtuosity, currently in residence in Pittsburgh, PA. They have performed throughout the northeastern United States, and have toured the South Pacific and Australia with the River City Brass Band. Numerous colleges throughout the United States have invited them to be guest performers for concert series and programs. The group has been featured many times on National Public Radio and was featured on the WQED-FM classical music series The Local Touch. A television special produced by PBS, A Child's Christmas in Pittsburgh, featured the quintet and was aired nationally. The ensemble is also known for its performances in such concert halls as Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center and New York's Carnegie Music Hall. The group can be heard performing for weddings, private ceremonies and special events throughout the Pittsburgh area. These include commencement ceremonies for Robert Morris University, Carnegie Mellon University, St. Vincent College, Point Park University, Community College of Allegheny County and other educational institutions. The ensemble is proud to be the "house band" of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh, performing regularly for official diocesan functions, as well as the Easter and Christmas masses. The group is proud of its reputation for contemporary works, many of which were specifically composed for them. In September 1990, the Carnegie Brass was featured in a new work with the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble. All members of the quintet are teachers in the Pittsburgh area and perform extensively with many different groups. |
