A brass ensemble is an instrumental group made up of instruments from the brass family (trumpets,
trombones, tubas, French horns and euphoniums) and may also have a percussion section. These groups
are known for their bright sound which they achieve thanks to the combination of these instruments.
This type of group can vary in size and have a diverse musical repertoire with a wide range of musical styles,
from classical and traditional music to jazz and contemporary.
The brass ensembles in Europe are widely recognized and viewed as part of the region’s valuable musical and cultural
tradition. Although they are appreciated across the whole continent, some countries have a greater brass ensemble tradition,
such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France and the Netherlands.
