Welcome to the 2025–2026 Season with Lakeshore Brass

We’re excited to be back for our second year as Concordia’s Ensemble in Residence. Last season was full of growth. We tried things, we listened, and we learned. But the most important thing we came away with was this: it only works when people show up. You helped us build something real last year, and that momentum is what we’re carrying into this season.

Community is at the heart of what we do. From the beginning, this concert series has been about more than music—it’s about creating space for people to gather, connect, and share something meaningful. Whether you're here for the first time or have been with us from the start, we hope these performances offer a place where you feel welcome and part of something bigger.

This year, we’re bringing you three concerts that each offer something different. We’ll open the season with Oktoberfest, a relaxed outdoor evening with live brass, bratwursts, and beer. In December, our Christmas Spectacular returns, packed with holiday spirit and familiar favorites. Then in March, Brass Classics closes out the season with a concert that highlights the power and beauty of chamber music.

We’re grateful you're here and excited to share what we’ve been working on. Let’s make it a great season together.
