Westwind Brass live in San Diego

Experience Westwind Brass live on August 6th

Westwind Brass is a renowned American brass quintet celebrated for its diverse repertoire spanning Renaissance, Baroque, classical, and contemporary compositions, alongside jazz and popular arrangements. The ensemble is known for its virtuosic playing, engaging stage presence, and commitment to commissioning new works for brass. They frequently perform both traditional transcriptions and original pieces, showcasing the versatility of the brass quintet format.

The concert will take place at the Stuart Collection in San Diego, California. This is a unique outdoor sculpture garden located on the campus of the University of California San Diego. Established in 1981 through a gift from James Stuart, the collection features site-specific sculptures by internationally recognized artists integrated into the landscape. Each artwork responds to the distinctive topography and climate of the UCSD campus.

The Stuart Collection isn’t a museum in the traditional sense; rather it offers a walking tour experience where visitors encounter art within a natural environment. The selection of this location for a musical performance highlights an intersection between visual and performing arts, leveraging the open-air setting and sculptural backdrop for an unconventional concert experience. The collection currently includes over 70 works by artists from around the globe.
