Featuring performing faculty member, Dana Russian, Beacon Brass Quintet has been described as “one of the nation’s finest chamber ensembles” by Bostonia magazine. In 1983, the Quintet became the first brass ensemble ever to win the prestigious Concert Artists Guild Award, and it has been performing in concert throughout the United States ever since. Recently, the Quintet was featured in lecture-recitals with Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart. Noted for their expertise in a wide spectrum of music, their program at Wellesley will span five centuries.
