NEC Brass Bash 2023 + Marshall Gilkes

NEC: Jordan Hall | Directions

290 Huntington Ave.
Boston, MA
United States

The Brass Bash celebrates the students in NEC’s brass department, and features performances for mixed brass ensemble as well as from our horn, trumpet, trombone and tuba classes. In addition, the event concludes with a mass brass choir, featuring all of our students in the performance of Wagner's Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral from Lohengrin. This year’s iteration is proud to feature Grammy nominated trombonist/composer, and NEC Jazz Department faculty member, Marshall Gilkes!

Marshall Gilkes integrates myriad influences into a singular and distinctive voice, combining the spontaneous invention of jazz with the elegant architecture of classical composition and virtuosic technique with passionate emotion. His sound can be heard in the lush impressionism of the Maria Schneider Orchestra; the unique Slide Monsters Trombone Quartet; and on Monday nights at the world famous Village Vanguard as lead trombonist with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. He has conducted his music with the WDR Big Band, UMO Jazz Orchestra, Airmen of Note, and Army Blues. He’s also performed with Makoto Ozone, Billy Cobham, Richard Bona, and Edmar Castañeda. A finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 2003, Gilkes has released six albums as a leader. The latest, Waiting to Continue, showcases Gilkes playing and writing in a trio setting.

This is an in-person event with a private stream available to the NEC community here: https://necmusic.edu/live

    Bring us, o Lord God, at our last awakening

    to enter into that gate and dwell in that house,
    where there shall be no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light;
    no noise nor silence, but one equal music;
    no fears or hopes, but one equal possession;
    no ends or beginnings, but one equal eternity,
    in the habitations of thy glory and dominion,
    world without end
    John Donne
