Mission: The mission of the River City Brass Band is to propagate and perpetuate musical culture, primarily American musical culture, across a broad spectrum of the public through the presentation of brass band performances, educational programs and the production of recordings. The River City Brass Band has as its central obligation service to the people of Western Pennsylvania.
Programs: The River City Brass Band’s subscription series, the centerpiece of its performing activities, is designed to be accessible, edifying and engaging. Rather than focusing on one home concert hall, the band brings its subscription series concerts to neighborhood venues in the communities where its patrons live and work. Programming features insightful commentary, uncompromising artistic standards and virtuoso musicianship to classical and popular musics.
The River City Brass Band performs monthly during its concert season at each of the following venues: Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland; The Palace Theatre in Greensburg; Upper St. Clair Theater in Upper St. Clair; Baldwin High School in Baldwin; Gateway High School in Monroeville; Carson Middle School in McCandless; Pasquerilla Performing Arts Center on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown; and at the Carnegie Library of Homestead.
