Like Laura's glass unicorn, Brass Menagerie is unique... unique in instrumentation... unique in colors of tone. Founded in 1985, this popular brass quintet is comprised of two trumpets, french horn, tuba and euphonium. The resultant sound is seductively warm and smooth, yet delicate, clear as crystal.


Brass Menagerie performs annually in the "La Noche de las Luminarias" at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix and in concert performances adds that glorious, yet often tender, panache that only a brass ensemble can create:

Park concerts
Christmas settings
Weddings
Oktoberfests
Parties
Festivals
Patriotic events
Church services

The repertoire is rich in musical styles: renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic, patriotic, marches, Dixieland, jazz, blues, Broadway hits.... in short, everything from Bach to Beatles, and Bach again.

To paraphrase Tennessee Williams, Brass Menagerie will "... play a little hot swing music to warm you up!"
