Event Details
The Spanish Brass is one of world's foremost brass quintets. Since winning the First Prize in the 6th "Ville de Narbonne" (France) International Competition for Brass Quintets in 1996, considered the world's most prestigious event of its type, they have performed worldwide and are recognized as one of the most dynamic and established brass ensembles on the international scene. Their many US tours have made them a favorite of American audiences.
The ensemble is also known as "Spanish Brass Luur Metalls." The "Luur" was a Bronze Age Scandinavian instrument, the ancestor of modern brass instruments. "Metalls" means "brass" in the Valencian language of their home region of Spain.
NYC-based Enso String Quartet has quickly become one of the country's most exciting young ensembles. View Event
The Jasper String Quartet has been hailed as "sonically delightful and expressively compelling" (The Strad) and as having "played with sparkling vitality and great verve... They are polished, engaged, and in tune with one another." (Classical Voice of North Carolina) View Event
