The American Brass Quintet is internationally recognized as one of the era’s premier chamber music ensembles. Considered to be among “the most distinguished” of brass quintets (American Record Guide), the group has earned its stellar reputation through its celebrated performances, genre defining commissioned works, and ongoing commitment to the education of generations of musicians. 

“The brilliance of their playing is matched by the extraordinary sonics: crystalline definition, airy spaciousness, superb presence and an overall clarity that is positively breathtaking.” —The New York Times
