The Eastman Brass Guild was established in 1998 by the then Professor of Trumpet at the Eastman School, James Thompson. The group was founded to provide students with the opportunity to explore and perform varied ensemble repertoire written for different combinations of brass instruments, ranging from the antiphonal music of the Venetian Renaissance to works composed within the last several years. The group was also formed to provide a laboratory setting for students to become better acquainted with the brass writing found in the standard orchestral canon. Upon Thompson’s retirement in 2023, Mark Kellogg, Professor of Trombone at the Eastman School, was appointed as the new conductor of the ensemble.
