Experience Westwind Brass live on July 16th

Westwind Brass will perform at the Stuart Collection in San Diego on July 16, 2026. The ensemble is recognized for its performances of brass quintet repertoire spanning a wide range of periods and styles, from Renaissance and Baroque works to contemporary compositions and jazz-influenced arrangements. They are known for technical precision and engaging stage presence, frequently commissioning new works to expand the brass quintet literature.

The Stuart Collection is a unique public art program established in 1982 by James Stuart. Unlike a traditional museum, the collection consists of site-specific sculptures integrated into the landscape of the University of California, San Diego campus. These are not temporary installations; each piece is intended as a permanent addition to the grounds. The artworks are often large-scale and interact with the natural environment, requiring visitors to explore the campus to experience the full collection. The program emphasizes thoughtful integration of art and architecture within an academic setting, fostering dialogue between artists, students, and the broader community. The selection process for artworks involves extensive artist proposals and site evaluations ensuring each piece complements its surroundings.
