The Milwaukee Festival Brass will conclude its 41st Season with a concert entitled “American Celebration.”

“With our country preparing to celebrate its 250th anniversary, it only seemed fitting to mark the occasion in style” said Dr. Mark A. Taylor, the Music Director of Milwaukee Festival Brass. “And just like our nation: our brass band origins might be British, but we’ve created something uniquely American that we can call our own.”

The concert will open with Aaron Copland’s iconic “Fanfare for the Common Man.” An original brass band composition, “Chorale and Toccata,” by American composer Stephen Bulla will follow. The band’s resident composer, David Grace, has written a beautiful setting of the hymn tune, “Be Thou My Vision.” The band will present classic melodies by Glenn Miller and Elvis Presley, along with a salute to the Harlem Globetrotters, celebrating their 100th anniversary this year. Capping this celebratory concert will be George Gershwin’s masterpiece, “An American in Paris.”

The Milwaukee Festival Brass will present “American Celebration” on Saturday, May 9, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. at Pius XI HS. Doors open at 6:30; concert tickets are $15, or $12 for seniors. Students under 18 are always free. Group rates are available. For more information, please visit the band’s website at www.mfbrass.org.

We're closing out our 41st Season in style — with a night of music that's as boldly, joyfully American as it gets.

"With our country preparing to celebrate its 250th anniversary, it only seemed fitting to mark the occasion in style," says Music Director Dr. Mark A. Taylor. "Our brass band origins might be British, but we've created something uniquely American that we can call our own."

You'll hear that Saturday night. The evening opens with Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" and moves through a celebration of popular American music — Glenn Miller, Elvis, a centennial tribute to the Harlem Globetrotters, and original work by our resident composer David Grace — before closing with one of the great works of American film: Gershwin's "An American in Paris."

Tickets are $15 general, $12 for seniors, and always free for anyone under 18. Group rates are available. Grab your seats at mfbrass.org — we'd love to celebrate with you.
