The Adams State University School of Visual and Performing Arts and the Department of Music will host the Pikes Peak Brass Band at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1, in Richardson Hall Auditorium.

The Pikes Peak Brass Band, an elite 33-member ensemble in the classic British brass band tradition, is based in Colorado Springs. According to pikespeakbrassband.com, this group will electrify audiences in educational and public settings and promote excellence in music.
