Music in the Gardens: Altoona Brass Collective

Partnering with The Arboretum at Penn State, Penn’s Woods Music Festival presents an evening of music performed outdoors in the Garden Rooms and on the Event Lawn of the H.O. Smith Botanic Gardens. Concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early, place your chairs or blankets on the Event Lawn, and then explore the beautiful gardens with musicians tucked throughout the gardens. Before returning to the Event Lawn for the 7:00 p.m. concert, wander through the gardens and enjoy the beautiful offerings planted there. We encourage you to visit the Arboretum’s Visitor Information site to learn about the gardens and the policies that help keep the grounds beautiful and safe.

The Altoona Brass Collective was formed in 2017 by musicians in the central Pennsylvania area sharing a love of brass instruments, quality music, and live performance. All of ABC’s repertoire has been written specifically for the ensemble. The members of the band have strong local ties, having attended the music schools of Clarion University, Duquesne University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Penn State University, and Slippery Rock University. These musicians are school administrators, music educators, music advocates, music merchants, studio teachers, freelance performers, and business owners with a common goal: To bring high-quality live music to Central Pennsylvania.
