Note from the host: "Hi friends and live chamber music lovers,
"Due to our wet spring, we are changing venues to a backyard in SE Portland. Hope you can join us for our summer Latin Music concert. As always you'll hear some tunes you know but never expected from a brass quintet. And a few new discoveries to love.
"If your heart is set on the airplane venue, we'll try to setup something later in the summer when things have dried out a bit."

About Portlandia Brass Ensemble
The Portlandia Brass Ensemble is a fun-loving group of active, professional musicians, who built their street cred at well-known music schools (including New England Conservatory, Eastman, UNT), symphonies (like Eugene and Salem), and many exciting music groups. They love to bring music up close and personal and perform in all kinds of venues, from in-home concerts to traditional concert halls. Past performances include the University of Portland, Oregon Symphony Prelude, The Old Church Lunchtime Concerts, Reed College commencement, Willamette Ale & Cider House and Groupmuse. Their music programs have 'a little something for everyone' - songs you know, and new ones to love; you might find yourself sitting with the band or playing an unusual rhythm instrument.
