Mnozil Brass has established itself as one of the world’s premier brass ensembles. Seamlessly blending technical virtuosity and comedic brilliance, the septet has become an international sensation. With over 130 performances each year, the group has sold out houses worldwide. It is no wonder that their videos have garnered millions of YouTube views and their fans travel countless miles to hear them play.

Yes! Yes! Yes! premieres on the heels of the group’s 20th anniversary and seamlessly blends original compositions with classical favorites, jazz standards, and popular hits. As always, the repertoire is presented with 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” (almost impossible to find an English translation, but best rendered as a kind of sarcastic charm!).
