Seraph Brass, an all-woman brass quintet, is bringing its sound to The Cathedral of St. John on Independence Day for 鈥淎merica鈥檚 250th at the Cathedral.鈥�

The quintet was founded by trumpet player Mary Elizabeth Bowden, who began the group to highlight women brass players.

鈥淚 think brass instruments are still pretty heavily male-dominated,鈥� Bowden said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 more and more women brass players, which is very exciting for me to see.鈥�

Bowden always had in the back of her mind how cool it would be to have a brass quintet made up entirely of women.

Now, 12 seasons later, Seraph Brass has a core group of five and a rotating cast of guest performers. Soon, the group will be recording their third album of all-new work.

鈥淲e keep coming up with interesting projects,鈥� Bowden said, 鈥渁nd I think we鈥檙e exactly where we want to be right now, and hopefully we鈥檒l keep growing.鈥�

Seraph Brass has played in New Mexico before and will be returning on the Fourth of July to perform at the Cathedral of St. John. Bowden said New Mexico is one of her favorite states and is happy for the opportunity to perform here again.

This will be the group鈥檚 first Fourth of July concert, she said.

The concert will begin with one of the group鈥檚 signature pieces, the prelude to Edvard Grieg鈥檚 鈥淗olberg Suite,鈥� she said.

鈥淢usic connects all people together,鈥� Bowden said, 鈥渁nd so that鈥檚 kind of what we鈥檙e focusing on.鈥�

The program will highlight American works from Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin and Reena Esmail, along with pieces from Broadway classics like 鈥淲est Side Story.鈥�

鈥淲e鈥檙e going to end with this Broadway medley that has a lot of familiar tunes for the audience,鈥� Bowden said, 鈥渁nd then (John Philip) Sousa鈥檚 鈥楽tars and Stripes,鈥� which is very appropriate for the Fourth of July.鈥�
