“BoB’s performance at the ABODA 25th Anniversary Dinner sensationally combined artistry and instrumental wizardry culminating in rousing applause and cheers for more from a gathering of esteemed band and orchestra directors from around Australia. The next morning BoB gave an impromptu outdoor concert at QBOC2010 with their versatility and enthusiasm being a real hit with the delegates with many commenting upon how their students need to be hearing brass playing of this level.”– Dr. Lewes Peddell, president ABODA QLD
BoB was conceived in early 2008 as a means for five brass players to enjoy themselves playing music from classical to contemporary, ancient to modern, pleasant to challenging. From these small beginnings, BoB has grown into one of Australia’s busiest and most versatile brass quintets with its annual concert season, performances in schools, several major brass/wind camps, regional and international tours, as well as the occasional appearance at corporate events. Drawing on the experience of its members, who have performed on all continents, including many of the major concert stages, BoB is dedicated to presenting works for brass quintet that delight audiences with the required virtuosity, musicality, and last, but not least, entertainment value.
