The Quintet has performed throughout the United States on radio and television, and has recorded the theme music for "The Advocates," on PBS. In addition to concert venues, the Beacon Brass Quintet has been featured at prestigious special events, including a Carnegie Hall recital, the opening ceremonies for the John F. Kennedy Library, and the centennial dinner for the members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
The Beacon Brass Quintet is noted for its expertise across a wide spectrum of music, presenting nine world premiere performances and commissioning several new works.

The musicians are members of the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra, Boston Ballet Orchestra, Landmarks Orchestra, Portland Symphony Orchestra, Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Boston Lyric Opera, and Springfield Symphony Orchestra.
We look forward to their upcoming performance at the Kendal C. and Anna Ham Majestic Theatre, 32 Main St, Conway, NH 03818. Parking is available behind the building as well as on the street.
