DuPont Brass is a unique and soulful brass ensemble hailing from the D.C. Metropolitan Area. Originally composed of five Howard University music majors trying to raise money for tuition during the Christmas season, they have grown to a nine-piece ensemble consisting of brass, a rhythm section, and vocals. After gaining popularity by playing at local Metro stations, DuPont Brass began professionally playing for weddings, banquets, and other private events in the surrounding area. Thanks to the foundation laid in their earlier years, DuPont Brass has had the opportunity to perform in conjunction with the D.C. Jazz Festival, The Washington Performing Arts Society, and the prestigious Kennedy Center Millennium Stage. Consistently touching the hearts of the community with their heartwarming testimony, DuPont Brass has been featured on WPFW's “Live at Five” three times and featured in the Washington Post Newspaper five times. Through their training in both classical and contemporary styles, the rising supergroup has developed a sound that mixes varied genres of music including jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. In their latest album, Music Education, DuPont Brass shows us why they are qualified to excel in both the education and performance arenas of the music industry. Filled with a diverse arsenal of musical styles, they present a body of work made with every kind of listener in mind.
