  • The DC Brass Quartet did an outstanding job providing music for the wedding ceremony. They were very professional, easy to work with, and most importantly -- fantastic musicians. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing to add a touch of class to an event with some wonderful classical music! -- Dale S, Vienna, VA, 9/25/2009
  • We had a fantastic experience working with DC Brass. They wrote arrangements for a couple of special songs and were very accommodating in all of our requests. It was clear that performing is more than just a job for them, they really enjoyed it and are passionate about music. They are an incredible value. I would recommend them to a friend and anyone looking for a great group for a wedding or other celebration. -- Sarah F, Bluemont, VA, 10/9/2011
