BANDthology returns with two of the Bay Area’s top ensembles—the San Jose Metropolitan Band and the San Francisco Brass Band. This year’s themes, Mystique and Whimsy and Towards the Light…, promise a concert full of imagination, power, and beauty. Join us for an unforgettable evening of wind and brass music.
This past weekend, over 200 patrons joined us in Lafayette and Pleasanton for our Love Stories concerts! Audiences loved the band’s rich sound, the beautiful solo performances, and the debut of our new Solo Horn player, Edwin Cordoba. Thank you to everyone who came—we can’t wait to share more music with you soon!
We are thrilled to announce that our debut in the championship section at the North American Brass Band Championship in Fort Wayne last weekend was a huge success! Our music directors, Dr. Jeffrey de Seriere and Russell Gray, have prepared us well. We've come within reach of the top five and have solidly established ourselves at the highest level of brass banding in North America. We'll be back for more in future years!
Introducing our next Music Director, Dr. Jeff de Seriere! Dr. Jeff de Seriere (de-ser-eee-air) is the Director of Large Instrumental Ensembles at Cabrillo College, where he conducts the Symphonic Winds & Symphonic Orchestra, and teaches courses in music theory, music history, and chamber music. In 2024, he began his tenure as Music Director for Youth Orchestra Salinas (YOSAL) where he currently conducts the Overture Orchestra, Da Capo Orchestra, and the YOSAL Youth Symphony.
