OUR MISSION
Brass Out Loud is a non profit organization dedicated to uplifting and inspiring brass players everywhere. We are especially interested in supporting brass players who have felt underrepresented in the music world. We aim to elevate the work of black, indigenous, people of color, female, trans, non-binary, and LGBTQ+ musicians. Our events address the various needs and challenges faced by the brass community. The inclusive faculty and staff at Brass Out Loud will offer a new perspective on what it means to be a musician today through three key initiatives:
our annual workshop, panel discussions, and BOLD chats.
