Maritime Brass Quintet

Halifax based MBQ performs music ranging from renaissance and baroque to jazz, folk and contemporary. While the core group is a quintet, our concerts might feature any size ensemble, from solos to full-size brass as well as collaborations with choirs, organists, concert bands, percussion and solo artists – you’ll just have to go to our concerts to find out for sure what’s in store. The one thing you’ll come to expect, though, is high quality performances of all kinds of music for brass.

"The sonorous rich timbre of Maritime Brass Quintet's playing is a delight to the ears and the soul.  Their camaraderie and artistry blend together to create a satisfying and moving experience for listeners of all ages. First Baptist Church Halifax is proud to partner with MBQ for rehearsal space, concerts, and our annual Carols by Candlelight service."

Lynette Wahlstrom, Music Director, First Baptist Church, Halifax

Maritime Brass Quintet has created a new partnership model where we co-produce concerts in your community. We partner with a local organization to present the concert and we share the proceeds between the host presenter and MBQ.
