Seraph Brass, now in its 12th season, was founded by trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden with a mission to showcase the excellence of women brass players and highlight musicians from marginalized groups, both in personnel and in programming. Winners of the American Prize in Chamber Music, the group has been praised for its “beautiful sounds" (American Record Guide), "fine playing” (Gramophone), and “staggeringly high caliber of performance” (Textura).
The ensemble tours nationally and globally, and the 2025-2026 highlights included the premiere of Steven Juliani’s new concerto for Brass Quintet and Wind Ensemble alongside Jerry Junkin and the Dallas Winds, performances in Japan and across the U.S., as well as residencies at universities such as the University of Texas in Austin. Members of Seraph Brass are passionate about music education, and hold faculty positions at Shenandoah Conservatory and Texas State University. In each of their tours, the group works to provide educational outreach to local schools.
Seraph Brass performs a diverse body of repertoire, ranging from original transcriptions to newly commissioned works and core classics. Seraph Brass is passionate about commissioning and premiering new works, and has released two albums showcasing these works, Asteria (Summit Records) and Showcase (Tower Grove Records).
Seraph Brass is a Yamaha Performing Group.
