Brassworks

The Brassworks Quintet consists of tuba, trombone/euphonium, french horn, and two trumpets, doubling on cornet, flugelhorn and piccolo trumpet. The six-piece Brassworks Band is made up of this versatile quintet, plus our drummer.

The Brassworks performs a wide range of musical styles: renaissance, baroque, classical & romantic, folk & fiddle tunes, marches, ragtime, Dixieland, blues, swing, rock, Motown, Latin, Broadway show tunes and concert works. The Band's specialty--to which our first album is devoted--is period ballroom music from 18th and 19th century Europe and America.
