“The members of Mnozil Brass do not talk during their show. They don’t need to. Their non-stop pace, comedic timing,and astounding playing had the audience simultaneously in stitches and rapt with attention for the full two-hour show. Musical selections ranged from classical to pop to jazz, showing versatility in style and varied tastes” - KRISTIN SHAFEL OMICCIOLI, 2013

Mnozil Brass has established itself as one of the world's premiere brass ensembles. With over 130 performances a year, the group has sold out houses from the farthest reaches of the European continent to Israel, China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Canada, and the United States, and has captivated audiences with its blend of immense virtuosity and theatrical wit. No wonder their videos have garnered millions of YouTube views and their fans have traveled countless miles to hear them play.

The group’s recent return to North America was hailed as "seriously funny" and "whimsically brazen." Their shows include Yes! Yes! Yes!, which blends original compositions with classical favorites, jazz standards, and popular hits—and Cirque, where the musicians combat the monkey business of daily life with music and humor and transform the stage into a musical flea circus. As always, the repertoire is presented with the group's iconic humour and wit in scenes so clever that they would be worthy of Monty Python.

Mnozil Brass takes their name from the "Gasthaus Mnozil," a restaurant across the street from the Vienna Conservatory, where, in 1992, seven young brass musicians met and began playing at a monthly open-mic. Since then, the group has embraced repertoire for all ages and stages of life: from folk to classical to jazz to pop; all executed with the same fearlessness, immense technical skill, and typical Viennese "schmäh" (almost impossible to find an English translation, but best rendered as a kind of sarcastic charm!)
