Yamaha Artist Services has announced that Boston Brass has joined the Yamaha Artist Family.
Formed in 1986 by music students at Boston University, Boston Brass is a classical and jazz quintet that has performed worldwide over the course of their 30-plus years together.
The band features Jeff Conner and Jose Sibaja on trumpet, Domingo Pagliuca on trombone, Sam Pilafian on tuba and Chris Castellanos on horn. Sibaja said that he admires Yamaha’s constant commitment to quality, and in turn, Yamaha feels that Boston Brass will help them serve more students than ever before.
“It’s the philosophy of non-stop improvement that Yamaha has with its instruments,” says Sibaja. “They never stop trying to make their instruments better. To a performer, to an instrumentalist, that’s money in the bank.”
“With a focused commitment by Yamaha in support of music educators, the addition of Boston Brass will help us serve more directors and students than ever,” said John Wittmann, director of Artist Relations and Education, Yamaha Artist Services Indianapolis. “The spirit of the group and the sound of their music is inspiring and unique. We at Yamaha are thrilled about our future with Boston Brass.”
Boston Brass will soon leave for a tour of Japan with their Yamaha horns.
