Since its founding in 1983 by Michael Levine, Dallas Brass has
become one of America’s foremost musical ensembles. The group has
established a unique blend of traditional brass instruments,
including two trumpets, trombone, tuba and bass trumpet with a full
complement of drums and percussion, creating a performing entity of
extraordinary breadth. Touring nationally and internationally,
the Dallas Brass’ extensive repertoire ranges from classical to
Dixieland, swing to Broadway, and Hollywood to patriotic. Their
animated performances include a most moving special feature and
tribute to God and country.
According to Mr. Levine, "a Dallas Brass concert is intended for the
entire family. Our ideal audience has a range in ages from 5
to 95. Our goal is to entertain and enrich by playing great music,
while showing our audience how much we enjoy what we do."
In addition to their solo engagements, the Dallas Brass appears with
symphony orchestras nationwide. Symphonic credits include the
Cincinnati Pops conducted by Erich Kunzel, New York Pops conducted
by Skitch Henderson, and the Philly Pops conducted by Peter Nero.
The Dallas Brass has performed at Carnegie Hall, the John F. Kennedy
Center in Washington, DC, and has toured overseas to Europe and the
Far East. They have shared the stage with the late Bob Hope,
have performed for Presidents Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush,
have appeared on the CBS “Early Show,” and their music has been used
numerous times on the television show, “The Young & The Restless.”
The ensemble has released six recordings: Debut, Dallas Brass II, A
Merry Christmas with Brass, Windborne, Nutcracker and American
Musical Journey. The Dallas Brass has a strong dedication to
working with young musicians, frequently going into the public
schools to present clinics and workshops for students of all ages
