Utah Premiere Brass

Utah Premiere Brass was formed in the year 2000 in an effort to revive a musical genre that was once the pride of almost every Utah community. At the turn of the 20th century, over 100 brass bands performed throughout the state. Today, UPB is the only known British brass band in the state, although it is hoped that more will emerge in the future. Consisting of thirty musicians, Utah Premiere Brass has attracted professional players from all areas of the state of Utah and even beyond.

This British-style brass band has a unique sound capable of playing whisper soft passages and powerful fortissimos. Performances featuring Utah Premiere Brass also showcase a breadth of musical styles, including original symphonies, light classical, jazz, Broadway music, solo concertos, and others.

Public response to Utah Premiere Brass has been astonishing. An emerging blend of musicianship and humour has produced overwhelming audience support, and the group is now a well known force in the performing arts world.
