The five professional musicians of Karidion Brass came together in 2015, while studying at the Karlsruhe University of Music, to form a permanent ensemble in order to convey to their listeners the full diversity of brass chamber music and their joy in making music together at the highest level. The ensemble's repertoire ranges from virtuoso pieces from the Baroque period to sophisticated original compositions and modern, jazzy melodies. The special line-up of a brass quintet with two trumpets, horn, trombone and tuba opens up completely new areas of interpretation for the diverse works. In addition to the original works, the quintet mainly draws on its own or specially commissioned arrangements. Karidion Brass is a welcome guest on national and international concert and festival stages, including most recently with a total of 24 concerts at the EXPO2020 World Exhibition in Dubai, the Kreuth am Tegernsee International Music Festival and many more. As scholarship holders of the Live Music Now Oberrhein e.V. association, the five musicians of the ensemble repeatedly demonstrate the social effectiveness of music in many retirement homes, schools and non-profit organizations.
