The Princeton Symphonic Brass, under the baton of Lawrence Kursar, will hold its annual Summer Concert on Friday, June 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Community Middle School Auditorium, 95 Grovers Mill Road, Plainsboro.

This summer’s eve concert features Americana, jazz, pop, and light classical in a spacious, state-of-the-art performance space with ample free parking. For the first time, the band will feature a special guest artist, trumpeter Liesl Whitaker.

Whitaker joined the Army Blues of The U.S. Army Band “Pershing’s Own” in 2000, becoming the first woman to win a lead position in a premier U.S. military jazz ensemble. She repeated this feat with the Jazz Ambassadors of The U.S. Army Field Band in 2012.  She will appear as soloist on several new arrangements crafted for her and the Princeton Symphonic Brass.

The Princeton Symphonic Brass is comprised of eleven brass players, two percussionists, and a conductor. This all-star group includes some of the finest musicians from the top musical ensembles near Princeton and has a repertoire spanning from the Renaissance to today.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, and $5 for kids 16 and under. They are available at psbrass.square.site in advance, or at the door.
