JLC Mainstage
Thank you for joining us for our 2022-23 season. I am thrilled to serve as the new Executive Director of the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts (JLC). As a longtime presenter of arts and culture, I’m excited for the opportunity to share with you my joy for the performing arts, which bring so much to our world. Through the arts, we create community, express ourselves in new ways, challenge our thinking about society, and escape reality to laugh and be entertained.
Like the rest of the world, the performing arts were greatly impacted by the pandemic, and we are still in recovery. At this time, the JLC is at 75% capacity. We appreciate your flexibility as we navigate new guidelines and changes. We will do everything we can to make the journey as safe and comfortable as possible for everyone.
Since you’re here, you know what a hidden gem the JLC is, bringing world-class performances to Lake County. Please help us spread the word by inviting your friends, colleagues and neighbors to a show! There are many wonderful performances, from national touring acts to showcases featuring our very own students. We believe there's something for everyone at the JLC, and we hope you do, too.
I look forward to meeting with you while enjoying "Brothers on the Battlefield: The Power of Love" with The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass. This stellar ensemble of virtuoso brass musicians aims to create an intimate connection between the performers and audience. We hope you feel the love!
Warm regards,
Alisa Baum, Executive Director

Performing Brothers on the Battlefield: The Power of Love
Virtuosity, Quality, Personality
The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass is America’s premier large brass ensemble. A group that always reflects the diverse makeup of men and women in the American culture, RMPBB is dedicated to the notion that music is a gift to be enjoyed by everyone.
The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass is a family-owned and operated business that had its beginnings on the streets of New Orleans. On the advice of family patriarch Ellis Marsalis, the group created a concert format that breaks the usual barriers between genres and strives to create a connection between the audience and performers.
The ensemble is especially dedicated to reaching out to the world's youth and inspiring them to reach for their dreams. A veritable "dream team" of virtuoso brass players, the group burst onto the music scene with a debut performance in Philadelphia's Kimmel Center in Verizon Hall, a residency for the Mann Center for the Performing Arts, and a special feature on the National Public Radio show, "All Things Considered."
Performances by The Rodney Marsalis Philadelphia Big Brass range from solo trumpet, to brass quintet, to the full eleven-piece ensemble with percussion. Their programs include holiday concerts, mini-concerts for schools, and traditional brass concerts with optional organ or choir. Brothers on the Battlefield: The Power of Love, covers music from the Civil War through the Civil Rights Movements.
In recent years the group has been invited to perform in performing arts centers around the world including China's National Center for the Performing Arts, Guangzhou Opera House, Tangelwood's Seiji Ozawa Hall, and prominent performing arts centers throughout the United States, South America, Asia, and Europe.
