EMPIRE BRASS
ACCLAIM
"They simply have no competition when it comes to the beauty and clarity and accuracy and balance and interaction of their playing--the first phrase of any Empire Brass performance live or on a recording sends a thrill of pleasure through your nervous system."
– The Boston Globe
"If there is a brass quintet that has more charisma, virtuosity and imagination than the Empire Brass, it hasn't yet played Chicago."
– The Chicago Tribune
"Lavishly endowed in technique and musicianship. Individually and collectively they proved brilliantly virtuosic, with lips of steel and willing, musical spirit."
– The Los Angeles Times
"You have not often heard an ensemble that played with more gusto than this one."
– The New York Times
"Their control of pitch and balance in addition to their musical understanding places them as one of the best brass quintets playing today."
– High Fidelity/Musical America
"The foremost of American brass ensembles."
– Pittsburgh Post Gazette
