Join the Bakersfield Community Concert Association for an evening of Brass.

Music students from Bakersfield Christian High School will perform onstage with the Dallas Brass.

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."

The show chronicles American music from the time of George Washington to the present day. Entitled "An American Musical Journey," it is an entertaining and educational program designed for the entire family.

The BCCA audience will hear a selection of music from the masters: Copland, Bernstein, Gershwin, Berlin, John Williams, Sousa; from bands like the Tijuana Brass and Chicago; and styles from Dixieland, swing, Broadway, folk, patriotic, pop, and even hip-hop. There is definitely "something for everybody".
