High Class Brass is a fun-loving group of active, professional musicians from around the Milwaukee area.  We built our street cred at well-known music schools, symphonies, and many exciting music groups.  HCB performs most commonly as a quintet.  We love to bring music up close and personal.  We perform in all kinds of venues, from in-home concerts to traditional concert halls.   Our music programs have 'a little something for everyone' - songs you know, and new ones to love;  you might find yourself sitting with the band or playing an unusual rhythm instrument.   We look forward to getting to know you!

Repertoire

Our repertoire includes: Bach, Beatles, Bernstein(s), Copland, Dukas, Gabrielli, Gershwin, Haydn, Strauss, McFerrin, Mozart, Mussorgsky, Pachelbel, Praetorious, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rossini, Saint-Saens, Wagner and more.  Why yes! We do perform pieces made famous by the Canadian Brass and the Muppets.

​                  We design a custom music program for your event.
Sample programs (+ audience participation & education options):
  • Classical Brassical - the big hits from big bad classical composers of their time
  • The Brassy Wild Wild West - Magnificent 7; Copland's Rodeo; spaghetti western themes; - BYOB (bring your own boots)
