High
Brass Trio
The establishment of the high brass
trio (trumpet, horn, and piano) as a new chamber music ensemble has been the
mission of Lawrence Kursar and Gary Ross. Founders of Band du Soleil they have
written over two hundred arrangements during the past five years. Their
arrangements have been performed all over North America and Europe. The
successful sound has brought rave reviews and standing ovations. The sound of
this ensemble combination has also inspired several composers to write for this
new and unique ensemble.
Listed below are some of the reviews of our arrangements!

Their musical arrangements, from classical to jazz, are as amazing as the full sound they produce. I was on the verge of tears one moment and wanting to dance in the aisle the next. The musicians are both entirely professional and delightfully personable. They are an audience friendly, talented, engaging, entertaining group. You'll love them!"
