LOVELAND, OH (November 27, 2024) – River’s Edge Brass Band will perform their special Christmas concert at St. Columban church December 15, at 3:00 pm.

Scott Seward, solo cornet player shares details of River’s Edge Brass Band and their Christmas concert tour stop at St. Columban on this podcast Holiday Special Loveland Beacon Talks.

The St. Columban concert performance is the final of a three-concert tour for the talented group of brass players. Cincinnati-based River’s Edge Brass Band will perform their final 2024 Christmas concert in St. Columban Church. St. Columban has hosted this amazing group of brass players and percussion twice previously for concerts in the church. Anyone who has attended those concerts, or any other concerts they’ve performed knows this Christmas concert will be spectacular!

River’s Edge Brass Band is made up of a talented group of professional brass musicians directed by Dr. Kevin Holzman. He is currently Director of Wind Studies and Ensemble Conductor for the College Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. The St. Columban concert will feature organist Blake Callahan from St. Peter in Chains Cathedral in the concert finale.

“Brass music and the holidays go hand-in-hand, and we look forward to sharing the cheerful sounds of cornets, horns, baritones, euphoniums, trombones, tubas and percussion to make listeners feel a shared connection to holiday traditions,” said River’s Edge Brass Band President Ben Basone. “Brass music in the holidays reminds us of celebration, unity, and the joy of coming together.”
