Colossus Brass Band

Tuesday, November 3 | 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

The Colossus Brass Band is more than just an assembly of elite players; it is a powerhouse ensemble of musicians who have devoted their lives to preserving the vibrant traditions of the Crescent City. While each member carries a unique musical legacy — many from families that have shaped New Orleans music for generations — they are unified by the teamwork and solidarity required to master the band's complex polyphonic style. We’re thrilled to have them here at the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music.

Tickets: $15 General Admission | $45 Reserved Seating | $10 Senior Ticket (55+) | $5 Student Ticket
