The Altoona Brass Collective was formed in 2017 by musicians in the central Pennsylvania area sharing a love of brass instruments, quality music, and live performance. All of ABC’s repertoire has been written specifically for the ensemble. The members of the band have strong local ties, having attended the music schools of Clarion University, Duquesne University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Penn State University, and Slippery Rock University. These musicians are school administrators, music educators, music advocates, music merchants, studio teachers, freelance performers, and business owners with a common goal: To bring high-quality live music to Central Pennsylvania

Before the concert, please plan to arrive early, place your chair or blanket on the event lawn, and wonder through and explore the beautiful gardens. From 6:00-7:00 p.m. aspiring musicians will be planted within the gardens to perform for you.
