Often likened to Monty Python, the Mnozil Brass combines offbeat humor, physical comedy, and serious chops performing original compositions, classical favorites, jazz standards, and popular hits.

Mnozil Brass
Co-presented by Irvine Barclay Theatre
Part of the Eclectic Orange Series sponsored by Judith and Howard Jelinek
Mnozil Brass has established itself as one of the world’s premiere brass ensembles. With over 130 performances a year, the group has sold out houses from the farthest reaches of the European continent to Israel, China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Canada, and the United States, and has captivated audiences with their blend of immense virtuosity and theatrical wit—no wonder their videos have garnered millions of YouTube views and their fans have travelled countless miles to hear them play.
Their recent hit show was hailed as “seriously funny” and “whimsically brazen,” as the show blends original compositions with classical favorites, jazz standards, popular hits, and of course, humor. The group’s iconic humor and wit in scenes so clever that they would be worthy of Monty Python.
Mnozil Brass take their name from the Gasthaus Mnozil, a restaurant across the street from the Vienna Conservatory, where, in 1992, seven young brass musicians met and began playing at a monthly open mic. Since then, the group has embraced repertoire for all ages and stages of life: from folk to classical to jazz to pop; all executed with the same fearlessness, immense technical skill, and typical Viennese “schmäh” (a word best translated as a kind of sarcastic charm).
