Returning to Australia after some 40 years, the American Brass Quintet (ABQ) has been described by Newsweek as \u201cthe high priests of brass\u201d .<\/p>\n

Known for their unparalleled technique, compelling repertoire and rich, perfectly matched sound, the quintet has an\u00a0international reputation as one of the premier chamber music ensembles of our time. As members of the faculty of the Juilliard School and a resident at the Aspen Music Festival, the ABQ has helped shape the quintessential American brass tradition.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Founded in 1960, the quintet is bringing their new line-up to Australia, with the recent appointments of trumpeter Louis Hanzlik and horn player Eric Reed joining existing trumpeter Kevin Cobb,, trombone player Michael Powell and bass trombonist John D Rojak \u00a0This group is thrilled to be travelling Down Under says John D Rojak.<\/p>\n

The ABQ will present two programmes of dedicated brass repertoire in Sydney, highlighting the group\u2019s continued commitment to only play music written specifically for brass instruments, or, for unspecified instruments in the case of some historic repertoire. Both programs will feature a broad range of music from Renaissance to contemporary.<\/p>\n

The ABQ will perform music by many living composers, including \u00a0US composers Joan Tower; Jay Greenberg, aged just 23; and David Sampson. As well, they will play\u00a0William Lovelock\u2019s (1899-1986) \u00a0Miniature Suite. <\/em>John\u00a0<\/em>Rojak says William Lovelock \u00a0” is considered Australian. We performed the suite quite a bit in the 90s. It\u2019s a very charming piece; in fact I think he wrote it for the ABQ. We recorded it about ten years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the audience, Rojak says, \u201cI would like people to leave the concerts satisfied that they had a fantastic couple of hours in a concert hall, hearing music that penetrated deep into their bones.\u201d
