Harvard Brass, The

Harvard University has had a history of brass ensembles dating back to 1884, but “The Harvard Brass” refers to a group established in 2000 by a couple of trumpeters and Harvard alums, Catherine Evans and Geoff Shamu.  This ensemble appeared on the yuletide album, Christmas in the Busch.
