Brasslands

Uniting Cultures Through Music

BRASSLANDS explores the explosive recent popularity of Balkan brass music through the stories of three musicians whose lives revolve around playing the music for very different reasons: a Serbian trumpet master, a virtuosic Roma street musician, and a dedicated American who isn't from the Balkans but has been playing this music in New York for the last 30 years. Their stories all converge at the 50th anniversary of the world's biggest trumpet competition in a hidden valley in Serbia.
