Paris Hill Brass Quintet

Versatility.

Our music ranges from the 16th century to the present day, spanning styles and generations.  From the concert hall to the cocktail hour, museums to hockey arenas, we have what you need!  

Quality.

Our group has players with varying backgrounds and careers, and really one thing in common: a passion for beautiful brass music.  The joy of playing and creating together is abundantly clear!

Fun for Everyone

Our performances can be enjoyable for audiences of all ages!  Children young and old tell us after each performance how they didn't expect a brass group to play in such a sensitive and cohesive way- let us share our joy with you!

Enjoy some audio on the house- some from the Brass Quintet Canon, as well as newer and lesser-known music.  We love every one of these and cherish the opportunity to play them for an appreciative audience!
