Join us for a FREE concert at Center Stage in the Big Sky Town Center on Saturday, August 13! All the way from Mexico City, the renowned M5 Mexican Brass ensemble will perform as part of the sixth annual Big Sky Classical Music Festival!

Since it’s founding in 2005, M5 MEXICAN BRASS have established themselves as Mexico’s leading Brass Quintet with international recognition. Combining their skills at virtuosic chamber music in all styles, non-stop interaction with the audience, inborn showmanship, inimitable Latin American charm, and their very own sound, M5 concerts are unique musical- theatrical concert experiences.

In it’s 10th Anniversary year, the group looks back at a very active touring schedule. M5 has been touring the US and Canada extensively since 2008. The quintet made its South America debut in 2012 in Cartagena, Colombia, performed for the first time in Africa in 2013 in Algeria, in China in December 2014 and Chile in 2015. Being one of Mexico ́s most active cultural ambassadors, M5 had their debut at Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. in 2015.

M5 MEXICAN BRASS has performed with worldwide renowned musicians like Fred Mills and Jens Lindemann. A large percentage of M5’s activities are dedicated to education, whether school concerts, workshops or master classes. In the 2014/15 season, the quintet performed educational concerts for more than 30000 children in Mexico, the US and Canada. An increasing number of contemporary composers write new works for M5.
