emBRASSment plays a wide variety of brass music from Monteverdi to ABBA and maintains close contact with concert guests.
When five ambitious music students from Leipzig came together in 2000 to form a still nameless brass quintet, none of them could have imagined that this ensemble, which now performs around 50 concerts a year, would one day make up a significant part of their professional lives!
After the first successful summer tours, the ensemble was soon able to musically "embrace" a steadily growing, enthusiastic audience throughout Germany under the name 'emBRASSment' (which, by the way, can simply be pronounced German despite its English-French provenance) and today it is impossible to imagine the annual series of events at many churches, town halls and music festivals without it. In addition, the rich and velvety brass sound also impresses time and again at festive occasions of all kinds, such as congresses, weddings and city festivals - including open air, of course! The five musicians, who always attach great importance to close personal contact with their organizers and concert guests, can now look back on a whole series of impressive venues, moving audience reactions and inspiring collaborations.
The wide-ranging repertoire of emBRASSment includes relevant original compositions for brass quintet as well as arrangements of works from all eras. Almost all genres are covered, from Monteverdi to Bernstein and from church chorales to ABBA hits.
