Join us for this unique chamber music series curated and performed by SLSO musicians. Experience new and treasured repertoire masterfully brought to life on The Sheldon stage in a dynamic lineup of instruments and players.
Curated by Steven Franklin, Principal Trumpet, and Amanda Stewart, Associate Principal Trombone.

The virtuosity of brass—written for cathedrals, for festivals, for the prayers of saints, and for the sheer joy of making music—takes center stage. Celebratory sounds from the Renaissance and Baroque, the mid-20th century, and a new work by SLSO Principal Trumpet Steven Franklin fill the hall. Discover the multiple characters, tones, and moods the instruments convey as well as the astonishing talents of the musicians who play them.
