From Phillip Telemann to the Present Day
The ensemble Frankfurt Chamber Brass was founded in 1991. Its musicians are members of the Frankfurt Opera and Museum Orchestra — one of Germany’s leading orchestras.
Music from the Renaissance and Baroque periods is performed just as naturally as works from the Classical and Romantic eras or contemporary compositions, as well as excursions into blues, jazz, and crossover projects.
Guest performances have taken the ensemble to renowned festivals such as the Rheingau Music Festival, the Würzburg Mozart Festival, the Weilburg Castle Concerts, the Kronberg Festival, and the Bad Hersfeld Festival.
Tickets, plus fees, are available at the box office and in advance at www.frankfurtticket.de.
