Bombyx Brass Collective | 5/16/2023

The Bombyx Brass Collective is a resident ensemble of the Bombyx Center, inspired by the passion and dedication of area amateur and professional musicians, and devoted to presenting quality music to diverse audiences. The 30-piece ensemble, founded in January 2022, features diverse combinations of players and instruments within its performances, and plays a mix of musical genres from classical to jazz to pop. BBC members include active and retired music teachers, working professional musicians, current college music majors, and talented amateur musicians.

Join Music Director, Margaret Reidy and the entire ensemble, as they bring their musical vision back to the Bombyx stage. Experience a journey through brass ensemble repertoire featuring stalwarts of the classical composition world, as well as modern musical discoveries.

As always, admission to the ensembles’ performances is free of charge, but donations are always gratefully accepted, with all proceeds going to support future programming and advocacy in the community.
