The Freese Brothers Big Band, founded in 1982 by four brothers from Pittsfield, features a mix of volunteer musicians and high school students. The 20-piece ensemble specializes in swing and classic big band music and supports young musicians through its Memorial Scholarship Fund, which has awarded more than $100,000 since 1986.
