Artistic vision, what we're about

Paradigm Brass

     Shift your paradigm

What do you picture when you think of a brass ensemble?

Five guys in tuxes playing the theme to Masterpiece Theater?
A loud band that can't swing?
Music students worshipping Bach in church?
Seventy-six trombones marching down Main Street?

Throw that image out. Shift your brass ensemble paradigm. Envision something fresh and new.

We're not all guys. We rarely wear tuxedos. We're even more tired of the theme to Masterpiece Theater than you are. We can swing. We take Bach out to the bars for a drink. We bring grooves to the concert hall. Our hips swivel. Our audiences whoop, holler, and make almost as much noise as we do. We have more shiny metal than you can shake a maraca at, and one of us rocks behind a drumset.

Paradigm Brass is the disruptive technology music has been waiting for.

Paradigm Brass has broken the brass choir mold.

       Shift YOUR paradigm.

 Dig'm.

Paradigm Brass is a new model of brass ensemble, presenting a hybrid of styles designed to create a distinct sound and reach a broader range of listeners. From church stages to nightclub scenes Paradigm brings Bach to the bars and groove to the concert halls.  We strive to make music that listeners of all types can connect with, and to create new paths of emotional connectivity with our culture by transcending the barriers between performer and listener. We believe that it is not as important what type of music we perform, but the intention, honesty, and sincerity with which we perform it.

Based in San Francisco, the Paradigm Brass collective branches out internationally and has active members in the United States, Canada and Spain.
