One of Maine's newest performing ensembles, the Maine Brass Collective is composed entirely of musicians who live and work in the state and seeks to bring great brass and percussion works to Maine audiences. Founded in early 2025, it has been based at the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Lewiston and the Greely Center for the Arts in Cumberland. The ensemble draws from the best brass players and percussionists Maine has to offer, with members from the Midcoast, Bangor, and Portland Symphony Orchestras, the Portland Opera Repertory Theater, and faculty from the University of Maine system and Bowdoin, Bates, and Colby colleges.
