The Lakeshore Brass Experience

“Lakeshore Brass possesses three essential elements—creativity, imagination, and virtuosity. They are consummate professional musicians. They dazzled the audience with an outstanding repertoire and enriched the celebratory spirit of our grand opening in downtown Chicago.”

— Amy Boonstra, Executive Director, Center for Decision Research, Mindworks

“Lakeshore Brass is an absolutely phenomenal ensemble! As Music Director at Concordia Lutheran Church, I’ve had the pleasure of working with the group on multiple occasions for our concert series and special holiday programs. The members of Lakeshore Brass always display the utmost professionalism, and they curate their concerts to the great enjoyment of our concert attendees and church community members. They’re all classically trained and perform beautiful classical music, but can also bring the house down with jazzy and swankier numbers. I’d highly recommend Lakeshore Brass for any of your musical programming needs!”

— Marisa Bucheit, Music Director Concordia Church Chicago, Soprano and Actor

“Lakeshore Brass is continually a joy to work with. The quality of their performance is always superb, and they have a unique way of inviting and engaging their audiences in their concerts. Professional, yet personable, they are reliable, easy to communicate with, and all around not only great musicians, but also great people. Highly recommend booking them for your next concert series or event!”

— Desirae Diehl, Director of Operations, Project 88 Music Academy

“I found the commentaries between songs to be both entertaining and informative at the same time. It was clearly rehearsed or prepared. The fact that the program included some sacred songs was very important to the people who attended so thank you for doing that. Musically, it was amazing to hear how your ensemble FILLED our enormous church with familiar songs and pieces that were less known yet incredibly moving. Your group is extremely talented, incredibly appreciative, and just a delight to host!”
