Colorado Brass Quintet
The Colorado Brass Quintet, formerly Peak Brass, performs social events where the mood is a real "blast". We have a vast repertoire of music from Bach to Imagine Dragons. We have been around for several decades playing weddings, graduations, debutante balls, wine tastings, sports events, memorials, live concerts, etc. In our case the "etc." is only limited to the imagination of our clients.
Brass Music for Special Events
Briefly, our repertoire includes a lot of Bach and friends, Marches and Americana, Ragtime, Jazz, Broadway and Cinema, Pop - Rock , and special occasion fanfares.
Classical Music
The Colorado Brass Quintet plays music from the Renaissance the 21st Century. We have a large repertoire of concert pieces of Bach, Handel, Beethoven as well as multi-cultural composers such as Gottschalck, Chevalier, Amy Beach, and more. Most our music was arranged or transcribed specifically for the Colorado Brass Quintet by Daniel Leavitt.
