BrassWerks, a chamber brass and percussion ensemble, was formed to bring eastern Ontario the finest in traditional and contemporary music for symphonic brass. The 16-piece group consists of the brass and percussion sections of the Kingston Symphony, plus additional outstanding musicians.

The ensemble is committed to reaching audiences both through a yearly concert season and by providing educational activities in the form of workshops and concerts in schools. BrassWerks serves the immediate communities of Frontenac, Loyalist, and Leeds Counties with its concert series and master classes, and the entire eastern area of the province through tours and concerts in outlying areas. The group's repertoire covers a wide variety of styles, periods, and genres from classical to pop, Baroque to jazz, and actively commissions new works from composers in the community.

This is our 7th season . We would like to thank everyone at Sydenham Street United Church for hosting our performances. S.S.U.C. is our home.

If you would like to hire BrassWerks for a performance in a series, a concert hall, school, etc. or a special occasion at your church (such as a Christmas Concert or Sing-a-long) please Contact Us.

Last season we had teamed up with The Kingston Choral Society and will do so again on May 6, 2011. We also did a special 'Last Night at the Promenades' Concert at Fort Henry on August 14 with the KCS and Friends and it was a rousing success...so we are looking forward to working with the KCS again.

We will have Guest Soloist Andre Dubelsten (Trumpet) on our first program.....look him up on the 'net....you will find him in a number of places. He is a young rising star in the trumpet world. We are also in the process of getting a Special Secret Soloist for our February 11, 2011 concert. We will post that info here when we have it for you.

We hope you can get to our concerts. The ticket prices are as posted here, but we also have a special family rate of $40. We would like to see young students (music students especially) in our audiences, so please take advantage of the family rate.....just tell our ushers at the door.

Two other smaller brass groups are associated with BrassWerks. The Kingston Symphony Brass Quintet and The Kingston Horn Quartet.
