Keybrass Testimonials

“Truly a great chamber ensemble for the Twenty-First Century.”
Alain Trudel
Music Director of CBC Vancouver Radio Orchestra and International Trombone Virtuoso

 

“The trio of Jay Michalak, Ben Perrier, and Susanne Ruberg-Gordon is a fantastic collaboration of three distinguished professionals who bring individual strengths to an extraordinarily diverse chamber music program.  This group is loaded with talent, charisma, and enthusiasm for audiences…one of the finest chamber ensembles in the country!”
Jens Lindemann
North America’s Preeminent Trumpet Soloist

 

“The youthful and charismatic Keybrass displayed virtuoso talent and an immediate rapport with their audience.  It was an adventure and a pleasure to sit back and enjoy their classically rooted, eclectic program.  Their sound, large enough to fill a one hundred year old cathedral, would be equally suited to smaller venues and more intimate locales.  The superb musicality and showmanship of these three remarkable musicians sparked many requests to book a return engagement.”

“Suffice it to say that your performance of the Castérèrde Concertino for Trumpet, Trombone, and Piano with Jay Michalak and Susanne Ruberg-Gordon was a stunning contribution to our concert program at The Banff Centre and was one of the most outstanding brass performances of the Summer Session.”
Patrick Burroughs
Director of Summer Programs – Music & Sound Division

“Outstanding from the first downbeat!”
