German Brass succeeded in creating "diversity in unity", i.e. a unique and unmistakable collective sound. The ensemble plays chamber music with the symphonic grandeur and creates dynamics that only brass instrumentalists can.
Their repertoire includes all stylistic directions and genres from Scheidt to Shostakovich, from Dixieland to Bossa Nova. The programs include arrangements of classical works, adaptations of timeless works and compositions especially created for the typical sound and technical brilliance of the German Brass ensemble.
