About the Group

The Academy Brass Quintet (ABQ) is a professional brass quintet comprised of musicians from the
greater Toledo area. ABQ was formed in June of 1994 with the expectation of performing throughout
Northwest Ohio, and to offer an annual concert series for the public.

Since its inception, the ABQ has thrilled audiences at Maumee Bay State Park, The Toledo Museum of
Art, the Metroparks, and numerous concert halls. We have been a featured ensemble on the WGTE FM
91.3 Thursday Evening Concert Series. In addition, the Group has been engaged to provide music for
hundreds of weddings.

ABQ performs a variety of music from Baroque and Classical to Jazz, Pop, Big Band and 20th Century
and is available for weddings, dinner/reception music, church services, parties, special occasions,
private lessons and clinics. For more information please call or send us an e-mail at
