The Atlanta Symphony Brass Quintet was founded in 1968 as the "Ceremonial Troupe" of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, having performed for numerous dignitaries, including HRH Prince Charles.
 
The Quintet presents an incredibly varied repertoire, from original transcriptions of Renaissance and Baroque music through theatrical pieces and commissioned works by Southeastern composers.
 
The ASBQ has appeared on National Public Radio's Performance Today, and in 1996 was the "house band" for four days of live radio broadcast over NPR to 40 countries. The Quintet's performances are also featured on the "Spirit of '96" NPR CD.
 
In October 1992, The Quintet provided all of the music for the Tribune Broadcasting live worldwide broadcast of The Search for Scarlet, performing civil war salon music in the State Capitol.
 
In June of 1993, the Quintet presented “A Norwegian Brass Odyssey,” playing in Oslo, Lillehammer, and at the Bergen International Festival in Bergen, Norway. The ASBQ is also the Official Brass Quintet of the 1996 Cultural Olympiad.
 
In June 2004, the ASBQ performed at the G-8 Summit on Sea Island for the Presidents of the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Russia, Canada, Italy and the U.K. (Click for photo of the ASBQ with President Bush).

The Atlanta Symphony Brass Quintet is in residence at Kennesaw State University and performs there and throughout the U.S.
