The ever-evolving story of the Triton Brass is one of music, friendship, expression, truth, and change. For more than a decade, the Triton Brass has been innovating the way audiences experience chamber music. Five friends who originate from various geographical corners were drawn to one another’s playing, decided to collaborate, and immediately made their mark as an ensemble. Triton has been in artistic residence at The Boston Conservatory, Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for many years, and contributes to the culture of these renowned institutions in both an educational and performing capacity. Before they had been together for four years, the group became prize winners at the Lyon International Chamber Music Competition (France), Fischoff (United States), and The Concert Artists Guild Competition (United States). The international attention achieved through these competitions served as a gateway to countless opportunities involving performance, educational outreach, commissions, collaborations, and world premiere performances.
Triton Brass has served as faculty at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute (2003-2009) and (2018-present), The Atlantic Brass Quintet International Summer Seminar (2002-2017), and has presented dozens of recitals and masterclasses at conservatories, colleges, universities, and performing arts centers all over the United States. Fiercely committed to new music, Triton has sponsored commissions, performed and recorded numerous premieres, and continues to seek out new works from living composers. The educational backgrounds, résumés, and professional experience of each of Triton’s members is formidable. Each member of the quintet is in extremely high demand with active careers in music and teaching, and Triton’s members possess advanced degrees in subjects ranging from music to English literature to engineering.
They record and perform regularly with some of the world’s finest musical organizations: The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, The Boston Symphony, The Boston Pops Orchestra, The Atlantic Brass Quintet, The Empire Brass, The IRIS Orchestra, The Utah Symphony, The American Symphony Orchestra, The Singapore Symphony, among others.
Triton members genuinely enjoy presenting both standard and new repertoire with a unique and unforgettable interpretation. Triton has a self-titled CD recording that was released in 2014 on the Hip-Bone label, and is available wherever music is sold. Triton’s playing is also included on two collaborative recordings: The Unheard Music through Albany Music (2013), and Strange Energy, (the music of Delvyn Case) Available from Deus Ex Musica Records (2018).
