Axiom Brass
Winner of the 2012 Passau International Competition for Brass Instruments, 2012 Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition, 2008 International Brass Chamber Music Competition and 2010 Fischoff Educator Award, Axiom Brass is a Chicago-based quintet dedicated to enriching the lives of its audiences and educating future musicians and appreciators of great music. Axiom’s broadly appealing repertoire includes traditional brass quintets, string quartet transcriptions, early music, and unique arrangements of American and Latin jazz. The ensemble’s commitment to new music has led to several world premieres and ongoing commissioning projects. Axiom Brass is an ensemble-in-residence at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute and Rush Hour Concerts’ “Back of the Yards” program in Chicago. The quintet performs exclusively on Mutec Mutes and S.E. Shires Trumpets and Trombones.
