The Copper Street Brass Quintet
These five brilliant young musicians may have dozens of recitals, a few
hundred jazz gigs and countless concerts between them, but they’ve also got
style, substance, and a flair for innovation. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico in
2007, The Copper Street Brass Quintet set up shop in
Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2008 where, through their inventive concerts, engaging
classroom programs, and a host of original arrangements, they’ve transcended the
brass quintet box and evolved into something fresh.
The CSBQ’s new tour program, “The Evolution of the Brass Quintet”, has been a
hit in communities across the country. This exciting show features music from
Mozart to Dave Brubeck to Billy Joel, and has wowed audiences with its
innovative blend of musical styles and dazzling fusion of electronic effects
with breathtaking brass. They pride themselves on shattering the divide between
listener and performer with their lively banter and audience interaction,
bringing people to their feet from Montana to Massachusetts. As devoted
educators, the group spends much of its time in local schools sharing their
energy and passion with students from kindergarten to college.
The group has recorded three albums and has been featured on Minnesota
Public Radio, KARE 11 news and Montana Today. Their two newest albums,
“Christmas on Copper Street” and “The Evolution of the Brass Quintet” feature
all-new recordings of everything from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite” to
Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’”.
From performing at intimate concert series venues to elementary school
auditoriums packed with kids, the quintet has seen it all and can do it all.
What’s next for this group is anyone’s guess - but chances are you won’t want to
miss it!
