 About the NYSB 
The New York Symphonic Brass launched its career in December of 2003 with a highly acclaimed recital at St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia University in New York City.Members of the New York Symphonic Brass perform regularly with the finest ensembles in the New York City Metropolitan Area, including the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Opera, American Symphony Orchestra, New York City Opera and American Ballet Theater. New York Symphonic Brass is remarkable for its excellence in programming and performing works not originally written for brass quintet, as well as the standard repertoire. New York Symphonic Brass concerts encompass sacred and secular music of all styles from past to present. The ensemble is in residence at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in New York City, where it performs with visiting artists and for live telecasts of Christmas and Easter services. New York Symphonic Brass began 2006 with a New Year's Day recital at Holy Name Church in Stamford, Connecticut, and also performed at a benefit Concert for Social Justice at South Presbyterian Church in Dobb's Ferry, New York. Upcoming events include master classes and a featured concert on the Artist Series at Bluffton University in Ohio. Recent engagements included performances at the United Nations in New York City, and concerts in Taiwan and Japan in July and August of 2005. While in Japan, NYSB performed and recorded a private concert for the President of Panasonic at Studio Presto in the Panasonic Corporation's Yokohama Headquarters to aid in the development and design of future Panasonic products. In December of 2005, they continued their popular annual holiday concerts at the First Presbyterian Church in Stamford, Connecticut, for organ, percussion and an expanded 10-piece brass ensemble. The members of the New York Symphonic Brass are especially proud of their many years of association with Maestro Mamoru Takahara and the New York Symphonic Ensemble. The New York Symphonic Brass is pleased to announce the release of its first recording, a CD of brass music encompassing the Ars Nova, the Renaissance and the Baroque.
