 Emerald Coast Music Alliance was proud to present a special, first time event in April 2026.  The American Brass Quintet, acclaimed as the "high priests of brass" by Newsweek, were invited for a special engagement on the Emerald Coast from April 15 -18, 2026.   "ABQ" performed live concerts and conduct a highly regarded "MasterClass" for our local band high school students, including a performance for students and parents.

Thanks to our generous donors, patrons, and community sponsors who made it possible for the Emerald Coast Music Alliance to provide the MasterClass event free of charge.
A special thanks to
Okaloosa Gas District
for sponsoring the Crosspoint Church concert.
 

​“Among North American brass ensembles none is more venerable than the American Brass Quintet.” – New York Times


“The members of the American Brass Quintet breathe as one, provide effortless well-matched phrasing,  and generally produce a superbly balanced, fine golden sound.” – Los Angeles Times

“The American Brass Quintet filled the cathedral Tuesday evening with a range of color and sound that  was astonishingly rich and varied...just as impressive was the variety of music involved, taking in its stride works from the fifteenth century to the present day...show players with the verve and power of this fine quintet.” – The Times (London)
​
“The high priests of brass.” – Newsweek
