In honor of Black History Month, which ends today, Plymouth Brass presents a program of music by Black composers, including Evan Williams, Florence Price, Robert Nathaniel Dett, Katahj Copley, and Jasmine Barnes.

The group chose to focus on music that is all new to them, by underrepresented composers, to draw attention to their contributions in the same way that the film “Hidden Figures” told the previously unknown story of the contributions of Black Women mathematicians at NASA. They want to inspire and educate the audience about these important but often “hidden” voices of composition.

Featuring Matt Osika and Roy Smith, trumpets; Colleen Wolf, horn; Ben David Aronson, trombone; and Jeremy Stoner, tuba.

Admission at the door is $10 per person, with a $20 family maximum. Concerts are free to Hochstein students/families, faculty, and staff. The concert lasts about an hour, and is followed by a “meet the artists” reception.

Thank you to Wegmans Food Markets for their support of our community events.
