Fall Brass Ensemble Concert
UCLA Herb Alpert School of MusicSchoenberg HallCharles E. Young Drive East, Los Angeles 90095
The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music Brass Ensemble brings its Fall Brass Ensemble Concert to Schoenberg Hall for a program of chamber music focused on the brass family. The event presents the school’s large brass ensemble rather than a separately named touring act, with a concert format that puts brass players and their repertoire at the fore. The listing frames the evening as a chance to hear chamber music through the varied voices of the brass family.
Based at UCLA, the Brass Ensemble is a large chamber music group open to brass players and mentored, coached and managed by Professor Jens Lindemann. Its work explores music composed or arranged specifically for large brass, alongside orchestral excerpts and chamber repertoire spanning traditional brass quintet music to instrument choirs. The ensemble performs on campus each quarter and also appears off campus. No individual performers are named for this concert, and the available information does not identify guest artists, collaborators, or a specific program, so the focus is on the collective sound and range of the UCLA brass ensemble itself.
The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music offers a refined concert experience in its 135-seat Lani Hall Theater, designed with advanced acoustic treatments that ensure clear sound from every seat. The venue features a raised stage with adjustable acoustic panels, creating an environment where both performers and audience members can engage deeply with the music. Events here range from student recitals to performances by renowned artists, often free and open to the public, with seating on a first-come, first-served basis. The setting encourages attentive listening rather than casual socializing, making it ideal for those who appreciate the nuances of live music. Located within UCLA's Westwood campus, the school also hosts a variety of musical series and festivals that celebrate global traditions and contemporary works, promising an enriching evening of artistry and culture.
