Conservatory of Music invites you to a performance of The Modern Brass Quintet, Los Angeles’ foremost proponents of brass chamber music, on Saturday, September 15 at 8 pm. As advocates for the performance and expansion of the canon of brass quintet literature, the Modern Brass Quintet has given world premieres, as well as US and West Coast premieres, of many new compositions, and has championed some of the lesser-known gems within the repertoire. With a stalwart dedication to the performance of serious repertoire for brass quintet, the group has included some of Los Angeles’s most venerated performing musicians. In its current iteration, the Modern Brass Quintet includes trumpeters Marissa Benedict and Daniel Rosenboom, horn player Dylan Hart, trombonist Steven Suminski, and tubist Doug Tornquist. The Modern Brass Quintet formed in 1992 to explore possibilities for brass chamber music, both recent and canonic. They work with composers, often featuring new works written for them, most recently with Mark Isham for the acclaimed ABC TV drama, American Crime Story. The Modern Brass Quintet also presents fascinating and rare solo masterpieces and pieces for brass instruments in unconventional settings. As the brass quintet genre is relatively new, MB reaches back across the centuries for transcriptions of baroque, classical and romantic music. The group is also dedicated to the continuing establishment of the brass quintet as a serious and respected form of chamber music, and actively seeks compelling composers to collaborate within the expansion of the repertoire. With an ear for variety and a respect for history and lineage, the group performs music from all eras, and draws the line from old to new with grace, elegance, and dedication. The Modern Brass Quintet are busy freelance players in southern California, performing with the major orchestras, and for TV/film soundtracks. The is a paid event.
