The Heritage Brass Quintet, formed in 1973, presents a blend of music spanning more than 350 years. The quintet’ s repertoire draws from classical selections such as Bach and Handel, jazz selections from such artists as Scott Joplin and Henry Mancini as well as popular music and patriotic pieces.

The quintet’ s versatility stems from diverse educational backgrounds and professional experiences.

They have performed with such orchestras as the Kansas City Symphony, the Greater Boston Youth Orchestra, the Midland-Odessa Symphony, the Lima Symphony, and the Virginia Symphony.
