Who We Are
The Washington Symphonic Brass has become a notable and significant part of the musical offerings in the DC Metropolitan area. Conductor Milt Stevens and trumpeter/arranger Phil Snedecor formed this group in 1993 out of their love for performing great music with first-rate people and musicians. Individually, the members of the WSB are some of the finest musicians on their instruments, in demand with the nation's best orchestras and premiere military ensembles and many having extensive solo recording careers as well. Over the years, the WSB has contributed significantly to the repertoire for large brass ensemble and has recorded these extensively on major recording labels, making it one of the most recorded large brass ensembles in the world. Their repertoire covers five centuries and appeals to all ages and musical preferences
