"We have had the privilege of attending concerts by The Copper Street Brass in the past several years. We find that their concerts are a wonderful balance between classical, jazz and pop, which we enjoy very much. We are proud to support the Copper Street Brass."
The Copper Street Brass (CSB) represents the Evolution of the Brass Quintet. This means we have uprooted the brass quintet from its formal foundations and created a new, dynamic ensemble which expresses our artistic voice using a dazzling fusion of brass, keyboard, guitar, percussion, and electronic instruments. We are the only full-time brass chamber music ensemble in Minnesota, and one of only a handful in the country. Our group sound has developed over ten years of rehearsals, experiments, concerts, trials, errors, and following what is true to our artistic voice and individual innate talent and experience. We approach performing and teaching not as a “brass quintet”, but as a group of musicians with a message to share.
We spend our time and energies inspiring students to try music, or to take a fresh look at why they love to play in band or sing in choir. Our evening concerts push the boundries of what is expected of instrumental music. We love what we do, and we couldnt' do it without your support!
