A Few Things to Know

  • Trust us: This concert falls right in the middle of the holiday season and is the PERFECT way to give you a big, brassy kick as you make your way through to the end of December.
  • Included in the star-studded guest lineup, the Lazarus Brass will take the stage as well featuring members of the Minnesota Orchestra brass section: trombonist R. Douglas Wright, horn player Michael Gast, trumpet Douglas C. Carlsen, tuba player Steven Campbell, and (of course) trumpeter Charles Lazarus.
  • In 2021 and 2022, Lazarus joined community members and musicians in performances to support Circle Rock Concerts for Community, a series of community concerts spearheaded by Paul Grangaard benefitting mental health awareness. He also serves as the organization’s music director, and they are continuing to produce concerts through 2024.
