New Dutch ensemble

NEOS Brass is set to make its debut with a little help form a certain Mnozil player.

 

On the 22nd of June the newly founded Dutch brass ensemble NEOS Brass will play it’s first concert in the Jurriaanse Zaal, De Doelen in Rotterdam.

Frank Kramer from NEOS told 4BR: "The guest artist for the launch is Thomas Gansch — well known from Mnozil Brass, Gansch and Roses and the Vienna Art Orchestra. NEOS Brass will play old pieces as well as new arrangements and the new piece “Theophoros” which Dutch composer Alex Poelman specially wrote for us."

For more information about the new ensemble you can go to: www.neosbrass.nl
