(Pittsburgh, PA - April 30, 2011) – Intelmarx, LLC has been awarded a management contract by the Pittsburgh based River City Brass Band.

About River City Brass
The River City Brass Band is a modified British-style brass band based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In addition to its accessible performance style, RCBB is renowned for its recordings and original compositions. Part of its mission is to propagate and promote the brass band through recordings and commissioning new works and arrangements. To date, RCBB has released fifteen recordings that are distributed nationally and internationally. The band annually performs nearly sixty concerts in the Pittsburgh area. RCBB differs from most brass bands in that the instrumentation has been altered. French Horns are used instead of tenor horns, and a soprano trumpet is employed in place of a soprano cornet. The result is a lighter, brighter, more "orchestral" sound than the traditional brass band. On April 29, 2010 the band appointed James Gourlay of the world-famous Grimethorpe Colliery Band of South Yorkshire, United Kingdom as its new conductor. www.rivercitybrass.org
