The University Brass Ensemble performs music written specifically for the instruments of the brass family, with an occasional addition of select percussion instruments. This ensemble is open to all ESU students and area community members. Students can register for academic credit (MUS 343), or participate without credit with approval from the director.

The Brass Ensemble performs in conjunction with the University Concert Choir, and as part of the University Honors Convocation event. The group is also the featured ensemble for the spring semester "Winds and Friends" concert. The group rehearses Tuesday evenings from 5:40 PM - 6:55 PM during the Spring Semester.
