MILNARIK BRASS: A Sound Like No Other

While many brass quintets may blend into one another with familiar repertoire choices, the MILNARIK BRASS stands apart with a sound and style uniquely their own. Founded in 1998 (originally as the INNOVATA BRASS), the group has become renowned for performing original compositions written exclusively for them by Dr. Sanae Kanda. Known for her cinematic style, Dr. Kanda’s music offers a distinct character to each piece, creating a dynamic and varied experience that captivates audiences every time.

Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the MILNARIK BRASS is composed of top-tier musicians from across the country. With performance credits that include the Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Boston Pops, Boston Ballet, Key West Symphony, Springfield Symphony, and the Jazz Composer’s Alliance Orchestra, the group brings a wealth of world-class talent across a variety of genres. This diverse experience enhances the versatility of the MILNARIK BRASS’ repertoire, showcasing their ability to seamlessly shift between styles and moods.

Education is a cornerstone of the MILNARIK BRASS mission. Each member is a dedicated educator, either maintaining private studios or teaching at the collegiate level. Wherever they perform, they prioritize outreach to younger audiences, sharing their passion for brass music and inspiring the next generation of musicians.
