The Saint Louis Brass Band presents concerts and other performances throughout the Greater St. Louis area. It has performed at BallPark Village, at Cardinals and Blues games, at Tower Grove Park, and at the band shell in Edwardsville, IL. Formal concerts have been performed at Christ Church Cathedral, the Sheldon Concert Hall, Kirkwood Performing Arts Center, Webster University, McKendree and Greenville Universities in Illinois, and churches throughout Missouri and Illinois. The Saint Louis Brass Band was a featured performing group at the Missouri Music Educators Conference at Tan-Tar-a. Joint concerts have also been performed with the New Horizons Band of Godfrey, Illinois, as well as numerous high school bands in Missouri.
The formation of the Saint Louis Academy Brass Band and the Academy Youth Brass has been instrumental in bringing the outstanding musicians and educators in the adult band together with the younger musicians throughout the Missouri/Illinois region. Bringing these brass and percussion students together to form their own brass ensembles, while inspired by hearing and performing with the adult band, introduces the worldwide phenomenon that is brass banding to another generation in the Greater St. Louis area.
World-renowned Brass Artists Jens Lindeman, Patrick Sheridan, and Soprano Christine Brewer have shared the stage with the Saint Louis Brass Band. Members of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra Karin Blisnik and Gerry Pagano has also been featured guest artists.
