Greenwich Library – Peterson Presents Jazz in July: Brass Queens
July is the perfect time to immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of jazz, and no group captures that spirit quite like the Brass Queens. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, this award-winning, female-led brass band features an all-female horn section and a dynamic sound that blends the pulse of the Big Apple with the soul of the Big Easy.
Rooted in the rich traditions of New Orleans brass music, the Brass Queens bring a fresh, high-energy New York edge to every performance. Their repertoire tells a powerful story through triumphant anthems, joyful celebrations of friendship, and irresistibly danceable tunes that reflect their electrifying stage presence. Touring nationally and internationally, they continue to elevate and expand the visibility of women in the music industry.
Concert begins at 3:00 PM; doors to open at 2:30 PM.
