eGALitarian is an all female brass group dedicated to inspiring and impacting the lives of women in our New York City community. eGALitarian originally began several years ago as a classical brass quintet and since our inception, we have performed in various settings such as recitals, galas, church services, and fundraising events. As a brass band with drums, eGALitarian’s repertoire is pop, jazz, new orleans, and latin tunes.

eGALitarian is co-led by trumpeter Kate Amrine and tuba player Caitlin Jodoin. ​ In our classical recitals, we prioritize performing music by historically underrepresented composers and commissioning new repertoire. We love collaborating directly with composers and featuring a conversation with composers at the concert about the piece. We also love performing themed concerts in outreach settings and finding new ways to connect audiences to contemporary brass chamber music. ​
