Euphonia: A Balkan & Brass Music Festival

A raucous celebration of global brass music, with blazing horns and driving rhythms, this is music that’s loud, joyful, spontaneous and made for dancing!

Featuring:
- Funkrust Brass Band — an explosive post-apocalyptic disco punk outfit known for gritty original tunes, megaphone vocals, heavy tuba bass lines, thundering percussion, searing brass melodies, and an anything-goes performance energy.
- West Philadelphia Orchestra — who seamlessly meld together traditional Balkan music, klezmer, New Orleans jazz, and Philly funk.
- Mountain Lions — ecstatic dance music from the southern Balkans and Turkey, led by Matt Moran of Slavic Soul Party.
- Unicorn Brass Band — our very own Unicorn Brass Band, the house band of Kingston’s queer-forward Unicorn Bar, who bring all the pop, disco, and dance.

Expect big horns, bigger rhythms, plus Balkan dance lessons with Noel Kropf, for all levels!

Schedule:
- Gates open at 3:00pm
- 3:30pm Balkan Dance Class
- Show begins at 4:00pm
