ABOUT

Many brass quintets sound similar due to the repertoire they choose, but nowhere else can you hear the staple repertoire of the INNOVATA! Dr. Sanae Kanda has written a plethora of wonderful music exclusively for INNOVATA. The style that Dr. Kanda writes in is very much like a movie composer. Her pieces each have an individual character to them that distinguishes one from the next. Dr. Kanda's music is immensely popular with INNOVATA audiences.

Although INNOVATA's home is in Boston, Massachusetts - the people that make up the group are top talent from around the country. The musicians have performed around the world and have appeared with such renown organizations as the Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Boston Pops, Boston Ballet, Key West Symphony, Springfield Symphony, the Jazz Composer's Alliance Orchestra and other world class ensembles in many genres. The wide range of experience that each person brings to the group compliments the versatile repertoire Innovata presents.

INNOVATA places special emphasis on education. All of the musicians have their own private music studios and/or hold college level teaching positions. Wherever they travel, INNOVATA, always tries to make themselves available to young audiences.

Listen for yourself to what makes INNOVATA unique!
