legacy recording project

PRESERVE THE SOUND. SHARE THE STORY.
INSPIRE GENERATIONS.

This season, Denver Brass captured the energy of live performance in two professionally recorded albums, now being shaped into lasting musical legacies. This summer, we continue the journey with a third album featuring Sketches of Courage, produced with Grammy-winning artists.

Bringing this music to life requires significant investment—musicians, production, engineering, and mastering—totaling nearly $100,000 across all three projects.

We invite you to be part of this historic moment. Your support ensures the music you love lives on—resonating in homes, classrooms, and hearts for generations to come.
