Our Next Performance

Next Up! 2025

New Music for Brass

May 4th 2025 @ 7 PM | Glendale First Baptist Church, Glendale

LAB-A is bringing brass ensemble to the 21st century with the help of LA-based emerging composers! Next Up: New Music for Brass features ten new works for brass ensemble and brass chamber groups, broadening the brass ensemble repertoire with a uniquely Los Angeles flair.

Next Up will spotlight emerging composers as they build their musical careers, and foster artistic collaboration between composers and brass musicians.

This concert is generously sponsored by Bob Reeves Brass. Learn more about all they offer for brass musicians at www.bobreeves.com!
