five outstanding musicians perform selections ranging from renaissance and baroque to ragtime, pops and contemporary ensemble
music with expanded instrumentation. The Premier Brass performs not only formal
and informal concerts but clinics and educational performances as well. Special event performances include church services,
weddings, grand openings, private parties and holiday celebrations.
The
Premier Brass has appeared at St. James Episcopal Church for both the Christmas and Easter Services
in 2005 and 2006. They have just completed an outdoor wedding at the beautiful Chatooga Club in Cashiers
where our web site pictures were just taken.

Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts groundbreaking
ceremony. The Moran Fanfare was played at this Gala event
When
Premier Brass began forming the ensemble, we origionally began rehearsing in Laura Steinke's livingroom when she
lived in Jacksonville, Florida. This started out as a typical chamber music group that just got together to enjoy playing
music. We began exploring the many styles that a Brass Quintet could perform. Arrangements, bookings, and publicity
followed and the rest (as "They" say) is history!
