Sacramento Symphonic Winds' Small Ensembles
Many of the members of the Sacramento Symphonic Winds perform in small instrumental ensembles as well. These smaller groups perform independently from our full symphonic band and are typically available to provide music for weddings, funerals, parties, events, conventions, etc. where a smaller, more intimate musical experience is appropriate.
Each of the associate ensembles listed below includes at least one musician from the SSW as a member. Click on the group's listed contact person to receive further information or to arrange a booking.
In the boxes below you will find more information about many of these ensembles.

Toot Sweet Brass Co.
|
Toot Sweet Brass Co. is a quintet of professional and semi-professional brass
musicians featuring Bob Runnels and Erik Rose - trumpets, Cristine Hancock - alto horn,
George Preston - euphonium, and Dave Smith - tuba.
Founded in 2008, we play contemporary pieces written for brass quintet as well
as arrangements of older and modern classics.
With our variety of music and virtuoso interpretations, we bring an enjoyably
different meaning to the concept of "chamber music," as we've demonstrated
in many performances in public buildings, receptions, weddings, holiday church
services, and group living facilities.
