About us

KamBrass, a brass quintet born in 2017 in Barcelona, is one of the most promising groups on the current music scene. Curiosity and passion for chamber music are the incentives shared by the five friends to create this project. The interest for the premiere of unpublished works, original music for the ensemble and idiomatic arrangements establish versatility as a hallmark, represented through the repertoire at each concert. Always with musicality as the backbone.

During their career they have been awarded with several international prizes. In 2022, they were awarded the 1st Prize of the Philip Jones Brass Prize in Lucerne (Switzerland), the 2nd Prize of the Anton Garcia Abril Chamber Music Competition in Baza, Granada (Spain) and the 2nd Prize of the Cambra Romànica Competition in Andorra. In 2021, they won the American Brass Quintet Prize at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition in the United States and they were also semi-finalists of the renowned Juventudes Musicales de España Competition. In December 2020 they received the 2nd Prize at the Orpheus Swiss Chamber Music Competition and the Gold Star Award in the Emergent and Professional categories of the Music and Stars Awards online competition.

They have performed at renowned national and international festivals. Recently, they have received a grant by Jeunesses Musicales International to participate in the renowned Chamber Music Campus 2022 in Weikersheim, Germany, with the artistic director and founder of Artemis Quartet, Heime Müller. Also they have been selected in the Xarxa de Músiques of Joventuts Musicals de Catalunya for the 2022-2023 catalogue; they have also participated in the Barcelona Obertura Spring Festival and Palma Clàssica, performing in emblematic venues such as the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona and the Castell de Bellver in Palma de Mallorca.
