ABOUT
US At
this time in our history, when general interest in serious or ‘Classical’ music is in decline (in favor of pop),
something remarkable is happening: across America (and Central Europe)
there is a phenomenal explosion of interest in the so-called ‘British-Style’ Brass Band Movement. On the cutting edge
of this explosion is the Princeton Brass Band (motto: ‘Resurgam: I Shall
Rise Again’). The
Princeton Brass Band is full of ambition. We love to bring the very best
of music to our audiences. Our repertoire is amazingly diverse:
everything from original masterpieces (e.g. Holst, Elgar, Vaughan
Williams, Ball, Gregson, Vinter, Wilby, Sparke, Bourgeois), orchestral
transcriptions (e.g. Berlioz, Barber, Bernstein), uproarious
entertainment (Riverdance, movie themes, fantastic solos played by our
multi-talented members) or jazz and rock numbers (e.g. ‘Chelsea Bridge’ by Billy Strayhorn and ‘McArthur Park’ by
Jimmy Webb). In short, our brass band can play most anything, to meet
every nuance of taste and musical bliss!! Rehearsal details for the When: Sundays from 3 pm - 6 pm Where: Princeton Church of Christ The
band is directed by Dr. Stephen Arthur Allen. For details on becoming a

This is not a community band. Final membership may be established by

attend” (Anon.) To
