Mnozil Brass: The Unconventional Harmony of Austrian Brass Mastery

Brass Brilliance: An Austrian Septet Beyond Boundaries

Mnozil Brass, an Austrian brass septet, defies musical conventions with a unique blend of classical, jazz, and unconventional styles. Their performances, characterized by traditional brass instruments and customized additions like the rotary valved trumpet and bass trumpet, showcase a symphony of virtuosity and humor. Often hailed as "The Monty Python of the musical world," Mnozil Brass infuses their music with a distinct Austrian sense of humor that is both jet black and delightfully absurd.

Historical Symphony: Origins and Evolution

Founded in 1992 by graduates of the Vienna College of Music, Mnozil Brass had its official debut in 1993. The ensemble's roots trace back to Vienna's Mnozil pub, where the founding members crossed paths while playing. Sebastian Fuchsberger, a former member known for his talent in imitating prominent figures like Johannes Heesters and Udo Jürgens, added an element of entertainment to their performances, proving that playing music can be both skillful and humorous.

Artistic Collaborations: Beyond Traditional Performances

Mnozil Brass has collaborated with freelance director Bernd Jeschek, bringing forth stage programs like "Smoke," "Ragazzi," and "Seven." Their groundbreaking work includes the "first operetta of the 21st century," titled "Das Trojanische Boot" ("The Trojan Boat"), premiered in 2005 at the German art festival RuhrTriennale. The group's international tours have earned them acclaim from renowned artists such as Barry Tuckwell, Chuck Findley, Jeff Nelson, and Wycliffe Gordon.

The Maestros: A Lineup of Musical Mastery

The septet's current lineup includes:

- Thomas Gansch (trumpet)

- Robert Rother (trumpet)

- Roman Rindberger (trumpet) (since 2004)

- Leonhard Paul (trombone & bass trumpet)

- Gerhard Füßl (trombone)

- Zoltan Kiss (trombone) (since 2005)

- Wilfried Brandstötter (tuba)

Notable former members:

- Wolfgang Sohm (trumpet) until 2004

- Sebastian Fuchsberger (trombone) until 2004

- Ed Partyka (trombone) until 2005

- Albert Wieder (tuba) (Temporary replacement for Brandstötter in 2015-2016)

A Musical Journey: Versatile Repertoire and Showmanship

Mnozil Brass boasts a diverse repertoire that spans Austrian drinking and folk songs, jazz, pop, classical rearrangements, movie soundtracks, and schlager. Their two-hour-long concerts, performed entirely without sheet music, are a spectacle of musical prowess and comedic antics. The group seamlessly integrates other instruments like the recorder and vocals, showcasing their versatility and innovative approach to musical expression.
