Brass
The Pioneer Brass is an ensemble of various configurations, formed in 1980. The Pioneer Brass Band consists of 2 cornets, trombone, tenor horn, euphonium and tuba, and focuses on the music of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Marches, quadrilles, Stephen Foster songs, music from 19th century Oregon, early jazz favorites, and much more form the core of the band’s repertoire. Four of the members also perform on a quartet of Swiss Alphorns (see below.) The Pioneer Brass played a series of concerts in Sapporo, Japan, as cultural representatives from Portland.
