In its 11th season, Seraph Brass was founded by trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden with a mission to showcase the excellence of women brass players and highlight musicians from marginalized groups, both in personnel and in programming. Winners of the American Prize in Chamber Music, the group has been praised for its “beautiful sounds" (American Record Guide), "fine playing” (Gramophone), and “staggeringly high caliber of performance” (Textura).
The ensemble tours nationally and globally, and the 2024-2025 season highlights included performances in Peru, Mexico, South Korea, and across the US, as well as residencies at universities such as Yale University School of Music and The Frost School of Music in Miami. Members of Seraph Brass are passionate about music education, and hold teaching positions at the University of North Texas, Shenandoah Conservatory, Texas State University, and Texas Lutheran University. In each of their tours, the group works to provide educational outreach to local schools.
Seraph Brass performs a diverse body of repertoire, ranging from original transcriptions to newly commissioned works and core classics. Seraph is passionate about commissioning and premiering new works, and will be releasing a new album in March of 2025 through Tower Grove Records, featuring new works for brass quintet and compositions by Jeff Scott, Reena Esmail, Kevin Day, and Kevin McKee.
Seraph Brass is a Yamaha Performing Group.
