Teaching Brass in Uganda: Eastern Edge Brass Quintet

Eastern Edge Brass, a Baltimore-based brass quintet, has been given the opportunity to travel to Uganda as a part of T.U.B.A (the Uganda Baltimore Alliance). While there they will be giving lessons, working with music instructors, and giving performances along with bringing along some french horns (an instrument that is absent from the area they will be visiting) and sheet music to share with young, aspiring musicians. Below is a video where the quintet explains exactly what they plan to do and what they hope to achieve while in Uganda.

Unfortunately, getting a brass quintet to a foreign country is not a cheap task. They currently have an Indiegogo campaign going and are attempting to raise $12,000 to cover airfare, lodging, vaccinations, and other travel-related expenses. All gifts are tax-deductible through the non-profit Fractured Atlas. Also, all gifts of $10 or more will receive "perks" such as hand-made gifts from Uganda and mp3 recordings of the group. More details are available at their fund-raising page HERE.
