The Wisconsin Brass Quintet will also present a master class on various brass techniques from 5:15-6:15 p.m. Both the performance and master class will be in Annett Recital Hall, Center for the Arts. Both are free. The WBQ has maintained a position at the forefront of brass chamber music since its start in 1972. MusicWeb International called the group one of the “superb brass ensembles in the USA” and the International Trumpet Guild Journal praised the group’s “remarkable musicianship and versatility.” WBQ is one of three faculty chamber ensembles in-residence at the UW-Madison School of Music. In addition to its regular concert series on campus, the quintet performs extensively throughout the Midwest and nationally, including appearances in New York City at Weill Recital Hall in Carnegie Hall and Merkin Concert Hall in Kaufman Music Center.
