A concert and celebration of the ensemble's 15th Anniversary

Closing night of Westerlies Fest 2026 features a celebration of the ensemble's 15th Anniversary. Join us to raise a glass to the past 15 years, and look ahead to the next 15!

The Westerlies, “an arty quartet…mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk” (The New York Times), hold a singular space in modern music. From Carnegie Hall to Coachella, the GRAMMY-nominated quartet has upended presumptions of the brass tradition to create music that is “folk-like and composerly, lovely and intellectually rigorous” (NPR Music).
