Brass Ensemble of the Concertgebouw Orchestra

Brass Ensemble of the Concertgebouw Orchestra

The phenomenal brass section of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra is internationally renowned for the 'golden edge' in their sound and their broad musical palette. They are unparalleled virtuoso and stylistically flexible. The orchestra's trumpets, horns, trombones and tuba have been performing together as a group worldwide for over ten years. Now they play music from all over the world 'at home'.

Music from three centuries and four directions

From Bach's baroque to the overwhelming beauty of the contemporary American Eric Whitacre. From Edward Elgar's modest English dignity to Piazzolla's South American fiery tango passion. And from Albéniz' spicy Spanish sounds to Bruckner's resounding cathedral: the brass section of the Concertgebouw Orchestra feels at home everywhere. Brand new notes sound from their trombone friend Johan de Meij. Warm sounds, virtuosity and crackling energy alternate in this unique concert.
