Stockholm Chamber Brass was founded in 1988 by five young Swedish musicians with a burning desire to play together and discover a repertoire for a five-wind ensemble. That same year, the ambitious five traveled to Narbonne, France, where they participated in the prestigious international brass quintet competition and easily surpassed their competitors and took home first prize. This marked the beginning of a more than thirty-five-year journey as one of the world's leading brass ensembles. Since then, the musicians have regularly performed on the world's most important stages and at prestigious festivals such as Bad Kissinger Sommer and Schleswig-Holstein, and as dedicated educators, they also lead master classes. They feel a special duty to develop an original repertoire for their ensemble and have sponsored more than fifty commissions for new compositions. Many compositions dedicated to our five brass ensembles from Stockholm have become a fixture on concert stages around the world.

In the current concert project, the musicians explore the points of contact between twenty-first-century music and medieval and Renaissance music. Although musical language and sound images have changed greatly over the past 1000 years, the core of the old and the new remains closely connected to the two fundamental forms of expression: song and dance. Stockholm Chamber Brass will perform the Slovenian premieres of three pieces written especially for them, and present their own versions of early music pieces in new guises. The concert will conclude with a piece by Slovenian composer Nina Šenk.
