Georgia Brass Band Comes To North Fulton For Special Performance

Fresh off a three city tour through Alabama and Tennessee, the Georgia Brass Band will perform for one night only at the Roswell Cultural Arts Center on Tuesday, May 23 at 8 p.m.

The ensemble, a traditional British-style brass band that includes professional musicians from the Atlanta area, is one of the state’s cultural treasures and its performances have thrilled audiences since 1999.
