Thank You for signing up for DMLBD!
On March 25th, 2018 the DMLBT had it's 5th ever Low Brass Day at Drake University in Des Moines. We had a great time sharing our love of music with the students, and the day culminated with an ensemble performance before our Des Moines Symphony concert that evening (recap video below!). Special Thanks to Prof. Vince Kenney for hosting and special guest artist Prof. Jesse Orth who came for a recital and masterclass.
