May 24 at 7pm - "A Night at the Speakeasy" (complete with a password for entry!). This show is one of our most popular. Westwind Brass adds a drummer for this very special show that takes the audience on a tour through the history of Jazz, from vaudeville and traditional, or "Hot" jazz through to the fusion jazz of the 1970's. Venue permitting, we often perform this show in a "club" setting, complete with cash bar, but the show itself is fun (and informative!) for all ages.

June 14th at 7pm -"Amber Waves of Grain, a Celebration of Musical Americana" is Westwind Brass' tribute to the music that has illustrated America's journey over the past 200+ years. With lots of catchy tunes and interesting stories, this concert is a celebration of all of the things that make America truly great!

Sept 13 at 7 pm - "The Music of the Californias" is a program that reflects the long and storied history of the "Golden State". Works include pieces from the mission era, the gold rush, and the golden age of Hollywood, along with some fun and interesting history.

December 10 at 7 pm- "Holiday Lights"
