Brass Band Christmas Concert on December 8, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. 

Join us for the Chatfield Brass Band Christmas Concert at Chatfield Lutheran Church. Guest performers are the Trombones Anonymous and the Chatfield Lutheran Bell Choir.  We hope to see you there! 

 

Fall rehearsals begin on Thursday, Sept. 19th at 7:00. Rehearsals are in the Chatfield Elementary band room. Join us!

The Brass (and woodwind) Band will begin rehearsals in mid-September.  This is a great time to join the band as we are just starting to learn new music.  Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Chatfield Elementary School band room. Rehearsal is canceled for inclement weather. Check with someone before you head out!  Prospective members are encouraged to visit and join at any time.  Instrumentalists who haven’t played since high school or college will find understanding, fellow musicians who went through the same “lip-building” process when they joined the band. The band is a traditional concert band with woodwinds, brass, and percussion. The director of the band is Carmen Narveson, a retired Chatfield music teacher. Contact the director for more info here.

The Chatfield Brass Band is a community band based in Chatfield, Minnesota that attracts adult musicians from throughout SE Minnesota.  Originally organized and incorporated as an all-male brass band, the group eventually evolved into a traditional concert band.  The band performs all genres of standard concert band music, borrowed from the immense collection of band literature in the Chatfield Music Lending Library

We proudly partner with the Chatfield Center for the Arts and Wits’ End Theater to contribute to the thriving arts scene in Chatfield and SE Minnesota.  We encourage you to visit each website and explore the many excellent concert and theater events available throughout the year. We hope to see you soon!
