The Brass Institutes of America have maintained their mission in providing a world-class brass festival at a low cost for over 12 years now. As we continue to bring in these phenomenal artists and faculty, funding becomes more and more difficult to come by without having to raise the tuition rates for the students. We want to provide this type of musical instruction and make it as cost-effective as possible, but we can't do that without YOUR help!
