From 2003: Sawchuk, Lindemann and Vizzutti in rehearsal

In 2004 the Rafael Méndez Brass Institute will be held again at the University of Colorado at Boulder, June 7-13. Featuring the Summit Brass, some of the nation's leading trumpet, horn, trombone, euphonium and tuba soloists, chamber and orchestral musicians, the Institute is considered to be the foremost annual performance and career development seminars for aspiring brass musicians. Participation is open to advanced high school students, college music majors, young professionals, and serious amateurs of all ages. Daily chamber music rehearsals, masterclasses, career seminars, concerts and exhibits highlight a week of brass music making and camaraderie in the beautiful Rocky Mountain region of Colorado.

Trumpeters scheduled to appear are David Hickman (Arizona State University), Allan Dean (Yale University), Jens Lindemann (UCLA), Allen Vizzutti (soloist, recording artist) and Terry Sawchuk (University of Colorado). This section can be heard on their recently released recording Summit Brass - Live (Summit Records DCD 380) recorded at the 2003 RMBI in Boulder.
