Buzz Brass offers distinctive shows aimed at a younger audience called “musitheatrical shows”. The musical adventure proposed by the ensemble stimulates curiosity, creativity and the development of a critical sense in primary and secondary level students. At the same time, Buzz Brass encourages its young public to develop an interest in learning music. Buzz Brass has prepared teacher's manuals for each show, designed to help introduce the themes of the presentation to students before the performance, and discuss ideas learned and experienced in class, afterwards. These educational adventures are presented entirely at your convenience. Buzz Brass makes all necessary arrangements and provides all the equipment required for each musical event. |

“After their performance, we received raving comments both from the audience and our own technical team. The flexible technical requirements, the easily set-up props and the unquestionable quality of the musical and stage performance combine to provide a show suitable for all audiences and all venues. We warmly recommend Buzz Brass as they are an essential asset in the promotion of chamber music for brass ensemble.”
Michèle Rouleau, Hector-Charland Theatre
“I just wanted to say how brilliant your performance was this morning! As the school's music teacher, I found it incredibly inspiring. You were all so fantastic and the children haven't been able to stop talking about it! Thank you for such a pleasant morning and performance, what a great start to a Monday! Erin Menelaws, MacLean Elementary, Rossland, BC “I am writing this letter to express my appreciation to your ensemble for presenting an amazing concert last week at our school in Armstrong, B.C. The show was entertaining, educational and of very high artistic quality. It is no small feat to keep a large group of middle schoolers attentive, especially when they are packed into a crowded gymnasium, sitting on an uncomfortable floor. Buzz Brass managed this with great skill. I have taught music for all ages, in all kinds of schools and in several countries over a 33 year career. I have never seen a performance to equal yours! I wish you continued success in your musical endeavours and hope that many more school audiences have the opportunity to hear you perform.” Deborah Mehes, Music Director Audience / Duration: elementary school / 55 minutes --- High school / 75 minutes Maximum Suggested Audience: 250 in a gymnasium / 325 in an auditorium
