The Bartels Brass is a dynamic ensemble of orchestral brass players (2 trumpets, trombone, french horn, tuba) all currently performing with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Delivering an unmatched caliber of brass playing, these musicians have extensive performing and teaching experience. The Bartels Brass offers students a detailed educational program featuring individual instrument demonstrations mixed with lively brass music from a wide variety of periods and styles. Thanks to generous funding from the Denver County SCFD, this program is available free of charge for any schools in the City and County of Denver.
Friends of Chamber Music sponsors school assembly performances by professional chamber music ensembles (string trios/quartets, brass ensembles, etc.). These concerts combine age-appropriate music theory with accessible classical music.
In addition to concerts (assembly format), we also work with schools on longer-term residencies, offering targeted, interactive instruction based on the specific needs of a classroom teacher.
Performances are presented primarily in Denver Public Schools and are available for all grade levels. We offer these performances free of charge for DPS Schools, thanks to funding from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.
