This San Francisco-based brass quintet believes music is all about connections. Inspired by the cultural diversity of the Bay Area, this ensemble engages audiences with music that bridges barriers of style and artistic discipline. They combine the warmth and expressiveness of small ensemble playing with the rich, powerful sound of brass instruments. Recent awards include the 2019 Aspen Music Festival Brass Quintet Fellowship and the 2019 Cypress Award.
