One of the world’s premier brass ensembles, Mnozil Brass has captivated audiences with its virtuosity and theatrical wit.

Its shows include Yes! Yes! Yes!, which blends original compositions with classical favorites, jazz standards, and popular hits, and Cirque, in which the musicians combat the monkey business of daily life with music and humor and transform the stage into a musical flea circus. No matter the show, the repertoire is presented with the group’s signature wit in clever scenes worthy of Monty Python.

Mnozil Brass takes its 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 a broad repertoire including folk, classical, jazz, and pop—all executed with the same fearlessness, immense technical skill, and typical Viennese schmäh (best translated into English as a kind of sarcastic charm).
