Originally founded in a Brooklyn basement in 2017, L Train is now New York’s largest brass band. An ever-growing community with 100+ brass, reed, and percussion musicians, the band performs every year in the Coney Island Mermaid Parade, Manhattan’s Pride March and Village Halloween Parade, at our music festival, Brasswick, in New Orleans, and at dozens of other incredible events. Featured in The New York Times, Vogue, on the Today show, and more, the L Train Brass Band is a staple of the New York community.
Creating a safe, positive and — most importantly — fun environment is at the heart of what the L Train Brass Band does, welcoming individuals from all musical backgrounds and walks of life.
L Train Brass Band’s foundational organization Brooklyn Brass Band Collective is a New York State nonprofit supported by its members and the community at large. The organization holds 501(c)(3) status — all contributions are tax deductible, and go to support the collective and its mission.
