River City Brass “Brasstacular!”

Luhrs Performing Arts Center Lancaster Dr, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania 17257
In 1981, something special happened – a musical renaissance took place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Under the baton of conductor Robert Bernat, the River City Brass took to the Carnegie Music Hall stage for its inaugural concert on November 21. It was an evening of musical excellence and determination – determination to bring about the revival of the grass-roots tradition of the American brass band.
Since that time, the 28 member River City Brass (RCB) has been fulfilling their mission to entertain, educate and engage citizens locally, nationally and internationally in the American musical culture. Locally, RCB’s annual tradition is to present 51 regional concerts and to maintain an acclaimed youth band and Saturday Music Program.
RCB also tours every several years and has produced 15 commercial recordings, the latest of which are River City Brass 30 Years and Christmas Brasstacular.
Over its history, RCB has had three maestros. The astute selection of Dr. James Gourlay three years ago was a watershed moment for American brass band music. James, a Scotland native, is acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest brass band conductors.
