About Us
Parallel Brass transforms music education from a standalone experience into an essential part of the learning process. Through immersive performances, original animation, storytelling, and newly commissioned works, we help schools connect the arts with history, literature, science, and culture—creating meaningful pathways for students to engage with academic concepts through creativity and discovery.
We believe the greatest impact happens when the arts are integrated into the classroom, not simply presented on a stage. Through long-term partnerships with educators, Parallel Brass develops curriculum-connected programs that support schools’ educational goals while fostering creativity, collaboration, cultural understanding, and critical thinking.
By bringing together world-class musicians, composers, visual artists, animators, and educators, we create experiences that extend beyond a single performance and become lasting resources for the communities we serve.
Every program we create is designed to leave students with more than a memorable performance—it leaves them with new ways of seeing the world, understanding one another, and discovering where creativity can lead.
