WHAT THEY THINK OF US ...
The arrival of OR NOTES BRASS on the French musical
scene was a great pleasure for me and a big hope for the brass circle.
This group, in a well-known genre which is mostly Anglo-Saxon, shows
key artists which were able to find a group identity. With an uncommon
sound, an elegant style and a great refinement in their presentation, OR
NOTES BRASS sets itself straightaway in the most recommended
brass quintets in the world.
Their success in the International Chamber Music Competition
in Lyon (2005) was only confirming their unusual and promising talent.
As far as I am concerned, knowing well this kind of groups, I was
looking forward to hearing them. I wish them the best.

I was really impressed by the brass group OR NOTES
BRASS when I heard it. The vitality and quality of their musical
spirits, their presence on stage as well as the technical level of the
ensemble seduced me.
These artists give a lot of pleasure to those listening to
them and, for this, I wish them an undoubted success in a welldeserved career.
Patrice Fontanarosa, international violin concertist
We had the pleasure to welcome the OR NOTES
BRASS quintet during our festival “Cuivres en fête”. We
discovered an ensemble of high quality and we wish it all the
best for a well-deserved career.

internationally renowned groups during Master Classes ( Spanish Brass, Canadian Brass, Ensemble Epsilon).
The members of the quintet also play within prestigious orchestras: Paris Opera, Lyon Opera, Paris
Orchestra, National Orchestra of France, Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France, Ensemble
Intercontemporain, Toulouse Capitol Orchestra… and conducted by Pierre Boulez, Christoph Eschenbach,
Myung-Whun Chung, Jonathan Nott, Emmanuel Krivine, Armin Jordan, Jesus Lopez Cobos…

Côte-Saint-André, Salle Cortot in Paris, Epsival Festival in Limoges, classical scene in the Salon de la Musique
et du Son …) as well as abroad, as OR NOTES BRASS was invited to participate in the Lucerne Festival

Our passion for chamber music aims at making most people discover a varied repertoire made of
technique, pleasure and musicality. OR NOTES BRASS offers eclectic programs, from ancient to presentday music.
BRA
OR NOTES BRASS wishes to develop the original repertoire for brass quintet. It has particularly
been able to play for the first time the French piece “Zwischen 3”for solo bass trombone with double bell and
brass quintet, composed by Gérard Buquet (contemporary music teacher at the Hochschule of Karlsruhe and
tuba teacher at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris) as well as “Le Soleil de Mitia”, a brilliant
tribute to Dimitri Chostakovitch composed by Jean-Marc Boudet (trombonist at the National Orchestra of
Montpellier). In 2009, it's Gustavo Beytelmann who works with them in "Un animoso destierro", a composition
inspired by the tango music. Arnaud Boukhitine, famous french brass composer and friend of OR NOTES
BRASS wrote “Acqua non potabile” in 2012.
OR NOTES BRASS pulled itself to the level of the best French groups after numerous concerts.
Passionate, brilliant, generous, are the three criteria which characterise them.
Therefore, OR NOTES BRASS is one of the great hopefuls hopes for chamber music in France
and abroad.
