Featuring The Little Brass Band

The Little Brass Band is an award-winning Brass Quintet from the Goldfields Region. They bring a vibrant mix of music styles to the stage, from traditional jazz and swing to classical favourites and everything in between.

Their sound is shaped by the rich harmonies and melodic lines traditionally found in choral music. Alongside the classic brass quintet line-up, the addition of flugelhorn and piccolo trumpet expands the ensemble’s tonal range, adding warmth, brilliance and expressive nuance.

Musicians:
• Frank Dyer – Trumpet and Piccolo trumpet
• Simon Marcollo– Trumpet and flugel horn
• Janice Lynn – French horn
• Cassandra Hiscock – Trombone
• Amanda Holley – Tuba

Notable Performances include: Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, Arts in the Park, Ballarat Begonia Festival, ABC live morning show, Ballarat Heritage festival, Ballarat Carols by Candlelight, Buninyong Carols by Candlelight, Castlemaine Jazz Festival, Community fund-raising concerts including Lifeline Ballarat, Prize winners - Australian National Busking Championships and the Australian National Band Championships.

Be entertained by the charm and energy of The Little Brass Band as they bring your favourite music to life, through their engaging and imaginative arrangements for Brass Quintet.
