THE RODNEY MARSALIS PHILADELPHIA BIG BRASS
This engagement of The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass is made possible in part through the Special Presenter Initiatives program of Mid Atlantic Arts with support from the National Endowment for the Arts and West Virginia Division of Culture and History.
The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass is America’s premier large brass ensemble. A group that always reflects the diverse makeup of men and women in the American culture, RMPBB is dedicated to the notion that music is a gift to be enjoyed by everyone.
The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass is a family owned and operated business that had its beginnings on
the streets of New Orleans. On the advice of family patriarch Ellis Marsalis, the group created a concert
format that breaks the usual barriers between genres and strives to create a connection between the audience and
performers.
