Spanish
Brass was created in 1989 by five Spanish musicians, and quickly gained
world renown for its performances, educational activities and creative
collaborations. After they won the First Prize in the 1996 Narbonne (France)
International Brass Quintet Competition, the most prestigious event of its kind
in the world, trumpeter Bernard Soustrot said, “of all the First Prize winners
of the Narbonne Competition, Spanish Brass is the best since the competition was
founded in 1986.”
