About BCB

Bay Colony Brass is Massachusetts' premier performing large brass ensemble. Uniting virtuoso brass performers and a cadre of imaginative arrangers, BCB bridges the Atlantic by combining a distinctly British Brass Band approach with American Wind Band and Orchestral traditions.

Founded in 2000, Bay Colony Brass performs a broad range of repertoire, spanning five centuries of music, not only of the brass or orchestral genre, but also encompassing vocal music, Broadway musicals, and even the occasional pop song. Often, in the course of a two hour performance, BCB will take you from the 1550s through and beyond the 1950s on a journey not just of musical enjoyment, but musical enrichment as well.

Music Director Jerry Cadden (principal tuba of the New Philharmonia) is an ethnomusicologist whose educational interjections make the Bay Colony Concert experience all the more exceptional. His brass literacy and expertise, combined with his performing and conducting chops, honed on both sides of the Atlantic, have made Bay Colony Brass what it is today.
