As a general rule of thumb, the Houston Brass Band does not charge an entry fee for its concerts. Instead, we rely on the generosity of our audience in the form of concert donations, foundation and nonprofit grants, corporate matching, advertising revenue, and sponsorships.
Every donation, regardless of size, helps us realize our mission to perform concerts of high musical and artistic quality in a wide range of venues and provide educational outreach programs to the young brass musicians in the greater Houston area.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, there are many ways to support the Houston Brass Band. Plus, all personal donations are tax-deductible.
