The Denver Brass Inc. was formed in 1981 by some of Denver’s finest professional brass musicians who shared a vision to create an all new, one-of-a-kind chamber ensemble, which would be in the forefront of brass performance, entertainment, commissions and education. Unique in the world as one of only a few professional large brass ensembles, The Denver Brass enjoys a success directly linked to its universal appeal. People from every background find inspiration in its diverse programming – classical, jazz, Broadway, Latin, and all-new sound sensations. Strongly-themed shows feature a unique social and sound experience, with guest hosts, soloists, dancers, participatory activities, and exceptional lighting and multimedia techniques. The trademark sound of The Denver Brass features a dazzling array of more than 13 distinct brass instruments, utilitzing mutes, technique and sound expertise to produce a rainbow of sound phenomena - not a band, not an orchestra, an entirely new sound. Further listening excitement is created through the inclusion of unexpected and unlikely guest artists such as bagpipers, vocalists, steel pan drums, or an authentic swing orchestra. The Denver Brass advertises “Goosebumps Guaranteed” without reservation.
