BELMONT BRASS

The five musicians of the Belmont Brass have performed around the Washington, DC area since 2001.  They are committed to exploring a variety of musical literature from original works for brass quintet to transcriptions and arrangements, many of  which are written by Ben Roundtree, the ensemble’s tuba player.  The Belmont Brass plays regularly at McLean Bible Church and has performed in concert at The Falls Church (Episcopal), St. Joseph’s Catholic Church on Capitol Hill, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Alexandria Presbyterian Church, and the Franciscan Monastery.  In 2002, they were invited to perform at the White House for the annual Christmas tours.  The ensemble's first CD is entitled "Christmas 'Round the Tree," released in December, 2004.

Personnel: Glenn Finch, Marvin Haines, trumpet; Beth Lunt, horn; Kipp Lunt, trombone; Ben Roundtree, tuba

Booking: Belmont Brass is available for weddings, concerts, and church services.  The group often performs with an organist.  Please consider the majestic sound of brass for your special occasion.  For pricing and availability, please contact Ben Roundtree.
