Backhouse Brass reimagines traditional brass chamber music by performing upbeat, funky arrangements of songs everyone loves. Originally envisioned as a one-off act for a senior high school concert, 2020’s Covid pandemic meant that the group had to get creative or give up. So, they took the extra free time to buckle down, practice, and arrange music. They began busking at the boardwalk in Sydney, entertaining crowds with their high energy, and unique sound. Showtime: 5:30-8pm
