About Laurier Brass Ensemble

The Laurier Brass Ensemble is proud to be fully student-run! As students, we plan our rehearsals, book venues, program our music and even conduct the ensemble! We rehearse weekly during the term to prepare a show to share with the Laurier and Waterloo community. This concert has a robust program with a variety of music that stretches across genres involving film favourites and beautiful choral-inspired music.

We are excited to share this evening with you all and thank you for coming to support us!

Land Acknowledgement

We would like to acknowledge that Wilfrid Laurier University and its campuses are located on the shared traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishnaabe (Anish-nah-bay) and Haudenosaunee (Hoe-den-no-show-nee) peoples. This land is part of the Dish with One Spoon Treaty between the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabe peoples and symbolizes the agreement to share, protect our resources and not to engage in conflict. From the Haldimand Proclamation of Oct. 25, 1784 this territory is described as: “six miles deep from each side of the river (Grand River) beginning at Lake Erie and extending in the proportion to the Head of said river, which them and their posterity are to enjoy forever.” The proclamation was signed by the British wit​h their allies, the Six Nations, after the American Revolution. Despite being the largest reserve demographically in Canada, those nations now reside on less than five percent of this original territory.
