Listen to the youthful exuberance of the Bravo Brass Ensemble performing music for the holiday season in the WRTI Performance Studio. WRTI's Kevin Gordon is host.
Watch the performance recorded live on the WRTI Facebook page.
The Bravo Brass, part of the Philadelphia Youth Orchestra, is the perfect musical accompaniment for Christmas, but they play all-year round as well. It’s one of only three full-time brass ensembles in the country.
Paul Bryan, dean of Faculty and Students At the Curtis Institute, directs and offers the players training through many live performances throughout the year. Members of Bravo Brass have gone on to study at some of the most prestigious and competitive music schools.
