Due to the enormous amount of work it takes to put on this festival, we won’t be be holding Brazzamatazz in 2023.
Please check the Opus 40 website for some great brass music happening this summer. And do come to Tilda’s Kitchen on Friday nights to catch great local music.
And we’d like to say a BIG thank you ALL the musicians, volunteers, Seed Song Farm staff, vendors and festival attendees who made our past festivals great!
