Back in 2026
The Conservatory of Music at University of the Pacific invites all brass instrumentalists to participate in the annual Pacific Brass Day. Work with Pacific's brass faculty and our guest artist, visit with vendors and perform in a culminating brass choir recital. Participation is open to middle school, high school and college students, as well as community members.
Our 2025 guest artist was Louis Hanzlik, an internationally recognized, Grammy Award-winning trumpeter, chamber musician, and educator. A member of the renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and former member of the American Brass Quintet, Hanzlik has performed throughout Asia, Australia, North America, South America, and Europe.
