German brass concert and there are many German brass concerts how how many German BR concerts do you have a year uh up to 70 in in the best years and normally about 40 50 concerts that’s a lot of traveling because they are rarely in the cities where you live right so how many hours do you think you would spend traveling a year to get to
German BR concerts more thanon it’s a lot it’s a lot of traveling it’s like uh like there’s the concern and everyone from German bras is sort of trickling in from um from all over the place I have um Stefan can I show you something I have uh UA here actually I have them on the iPad sorry about this it’s too much technical stuff here um
U Cola the the other what you call them first trumpet principal trumpet everyone’s trumpet you’re all first trumpets um only trumpet have a little hello from U col hello Sarah and hi guys from Dr R I’m sitting here at in the gr airport my depart is in 1 hour and well I’m luckily be in time in Berlin
I hope to see you on stage take some some hours but we’re going to have fun again I think and the most important question I want to ask you is there any reservation for the after show thanks and bye so that’s our that’s our U um very typical it’s very typical of U he’s very interested in the after show party um
I haven’t because there’s so many of you I’ve never had a hang out with so many good-looking guys before and one in one room um of course my team is very good-looking thanks to the team again uh George jaob and Stefan and also astonishingly hon Tim in meon who’s up very late again tonight thank you Tim um yeah
Round of Applause Round of Applause for Tim but um I’m going to get on the chat for uh to see what sort of questions are coming um wol tell us a little bit about the very beginning of German brass very beginning uh that was in Berlin started in Berlin we started in the the high school music there were some guys who played they like to they like to play quintet we didn’t know any any any music any no no no no stuff for repertoire so we wrot it by hand we wrote it by hand and came together just for fun just for fun just for
Fun just for fun and then we got positions in different orchestras from Berlin to Munich to stutgart and we made up our mind to do it again now in real in real advertising professional professional way so we found founded in 74 a quintet yeah with a very ni name d do BL quintet the German brass quintet a very good
German name very good there we studed and this was very U we had a a lot of success really a lot of concerts we did some records was very very nice to play but then we made up to do it in a in a larger in a larger form that we we want it was the the anniversary of
P I think yeah and with five 300 300 300 and with Five Guys we couldn’t realize all what we wanted and we decided to do it double in a double double group is it easier to work in a double group not easier you have more possibility to to the the stuff yeah so you became a 10 piece a 10 piece yeah it was 84
I think yeah we got it yeah and since then we play me you yeah TS came along as the second longest standing member um you you had a full-time job you were playing principal trumpet at the Opera and what what made what made this this German brass so special that you wanted to I mean it takes up it’s like your life
German brass so for me it’s was a dream um to play uh in a German brass group when I I was was uh 13 years old I played in school group in a in a quintet and I heard the recordings of wolf gang with the Quint and my dream was to play in this group and some years later and was
I was 18 years old I switched to come to rehearsal in in bomber and we did B toata and and f um so and at this point um I started to arrange for the group and we started to play concer a special atmosphere if you are from different cities come together there are some ensembles play in one city and in one
Orchestra but for us it’s uh uh many things behind the music come together to um to tell about what happened in your Orchestra and in your Music Academy and and so and um it’s uh some uh things more than music and that’s great fun yeah that’s that’s great fun it t can really say that really is great fun because when you guys call and say come
I mean it’s not since long that you’ve had a girl that the girl’s been allowed to play with you only yeah well it’s a big honor it’s a big honor but the one and only the one and only well it’s a big honor but I must say that when you guys call I it’s just such a pleasure to be able to it’s just such a fantastic atmosphere on stage no matter everyone arrives with with a good mood and the good mood starts from right to the beginning to to goes to the very end when
Alex gets on stage and sings Leroy Brown and Alex why are you still playing a trombone actually because because you are such a fantastic singer and you could do a cabaret act no no no no I like the trombone H in my street where I lived I come from mines the principal player from the mines Opera uh house you lived in the street and um
I can’t I could I can’t remember but when I was very young I sung a lot in my backr and he heard that I can’t remember that and then he asked me to play trone in the in the group in the church he had a group a small group in the church and he asked me and I went to my mother the guy asked me to play drone what is drone and my mother didn’t know either so we looked in the
Lexicon what is it dictionary yeah yeah and yeah oh this is this thing and do you want to play she asked me yeah and so started I started TR playing and I loved it and how did you get into the group because they were they to this group yeah they asked me in 99 Enrique creso he he asked me to play with with the group in 99 for he didn’t have a special beer that that help wine wine special wi is special wine a special wine really from the same the same town you come from the same town as a wine yeah oh good that’s
A that’s a good reason um but I must say tell you guys if you haven’t heard Alex doing Leroy Brown you really have to um actually someone has just asked uh you so many questions coming I’m sorry I’m not paying too much attention because with all these good-looking guys here would you pay too much attention to the questions but keep them coming um uh somebody wanted to know a
Martin McKenzie said are there plans to present web streamed upcoming concerts by German brass and there’s a good question you need Tim for that we have to work that out very good idea how about that for a good idea very good idea yeah good have the possibility let’s work on that I think that would be a great idea um amble the base of the group what do you what do you think of the chat um
I’m I’m um I I must say hi to Tim greens leaves to Ley oh Tom Green Leaves yeah Tom you said Tim Greensleeves love that Tom Tom is uh t play that’s nice I I read it because he’s uh sometimes guest in Munich at the state there’s a lot of people watching really a lot of people watching um you are also quite a new member of the group you replaced the legendary bter
Hill girl um and I’ve had a few Trump uh CH players already asked how you managed to stand for the whole concert and play because you you you stand and you yeah I I I um I stand but I have a stand I you have a stand I have a stand you stand with a stand um yeah
I I I don’t care the TU okay I have and is it especially is it is it a common thing for tuba players is this a noral sort of stand there there are some common stands for tuber but this one is a special one because it belonged to V that is right you could sell it on eBay yeah get a lot of money and now now it’s uh getting really old and sometimes it’s looks like it’s it’s going to break down in the next moment but but it it works it works um as the
I I I told the guys that they could get up and help themselves to coffee and cake and stuff so that’s why it might yeah so please Kristoff just help yourself I will I will come back um you play the base you play the Baseline you’re the walking yeah I mean really standing next to you and and
Herbert Herby behind us the your percussionist um you guys really keep everybody in time but it’s a lot of on the beat playing you have to do yeah yeah it’s a lot lot of work uh uh and but but U yeah like it you ever get solos does have Maas arrang the solo for you yeah you have to practice this what’s it called uh this will be an area from good oh we have the over ah which one the one where
Rosina is is flirting with the singing ah okay oh good well we want to hear that yeah maybe we have to uh try that and we have to we have to have a rehearsal that’s one of the next big this is a good question Kristoph tell us about rehearsals because when it’s a very good lead into rehearsal because when you all come from all different cities how on
Earth do you man T that’s really difficult and um often to Less on the rehearsals Matias is trying to to arrange arrange arrange the the music Alex has some great Arrangements too really difficult things since two or three years Alex also is very good arranging and um so we have done we do not have so time everybody is practicing at his home and we come together and sometimes we we are able to plan one day only for rehe without concert but um normally it’s very
F so today J Ras has a concert um here in the Chamber Of Music Hall anybody coming please write and tell us if you’re coming um because we need lots and lots of people there I think it’s quite well told which is great um but you have like a half an hour rehearsal for it that’s all yeah cuz you all know the program that’s all you know with us the same without any rehearsal you know yeah this is this is the best sorts of concerts when they call and they say
Sarah can you come and jump in um for Claus or wolf gu I say you say yes of course because you love it and I say when’s the rehearsal oh there isn’t one what are the pieces you don’t know any of them okay so then I get on on on email and write to Alex Matias and say please can you send me the the midi file so
I sit there with my headphones on and go b b I try to learn these pieces and then the most important thing is when you get to the rehearsal there is always a little you know sitting seat not seating standing rehearsal and and they look at you and they say they they play for a few things and they say
Sarah do you need anything else and actually I need the whole program but you have to say no I’m fine that’s part of being an extra player right but everybody is really very very concentrated in concert and that makes uh some uh easier everybody was the same proed procedure procedure everybody everybody for everybody so when you came in the group
I had no reg none at all no so who did who did you come you who did you replace I can’t remember who was in the group before you Stefan Poppa Stefan poppet that’s right and so you’ve been yeah you’ve been there for quite a while and you you turned up and you had no rehearsal no and you just had to play the
P the music one week before then for me that’s the reason I want to make the arrangement because I know already that yeah I think it’s it’s very important um Alex and and me we doing the arrangement for the group and uh we know each other exactly and every player wants to play his uh things he can play and so we try to find pieces and uh and uh make the parts in this way that everyone feels good with this and so from the first rehearsal um everyone um finds this um on on this uh music stand he wants to play and that’s um the
Reason of of our success I think because um for example trumpet you have a lead trumpet player in the big band you have a a trumpet player play very technical things and if you put all this in one part it’s not possible but uh we have different uh um trumpet players different trumbone players uh with with very special um um possibil possibilities and and in this case it it works we have
I’ll tell them something to all the horn players out there they Alex and Matias arrang for the horn players um for Claus and bolang which means in the first horn Parts they’re all these high top D’s because Wolf Gang can play the most incredible top D’s I can never play a top d he said it’s the only thing he can it’s not true but it’s really true you do arrange for everybody’s um for everybody’s things and now we’ve got a nice tuba
ARA coming to see so that that’ll be that’ll be interesting there’s been some great questions UA’s trumpet class are watching in the Arts hello your teacher isn’t here he’s on the plane but I hope you saw his message um and uh Alexandra D there’s all sorts of um we get a lot of uh brass questions people want to know all about how you play what you play
Alexandre D gay wanted to know how many gu how many hours did you guys practice where you at school and how many hours do you practice now okay we’re going through how many hours oh no don’t ask me oh God how many hours don’t know one one at school one hour at school and now good next question both guy how have you managed to keep going for all these years no practicing the best way
I don’t know whether I believe that but somebody asked further on I’m sorry I didn’t mean the didn’t get the name somebody asked what do you have to do different to play as a horn player with all the brass players because you know our problem we blow backwards yeah yeah that’s right and everyone you should be you should be a little bit louder than the others always but you should be if you’re a player alone very very smooth and soft but you have to watch for example ambo and the drama because it’s there are
L sight differences different timing different timings we play in the background and the audience will hear a little bit later yeah it’s very difficult so you mean different yeah different Acoustics so everything that we play comes late and then it’s too late with that’s it therefore we have to watch really very very very uh exactly it this feat and how do do you how do you get those
High DS just if if you have strong strong front strong front is it will work for everybody okay good Amo how many hours do you the tuber player tuber players practice for hours don’t they never get tired do they they practice all the time in in in school high school well yeah College school yeah um I I really practiced a lot because
I started very late with tu BL I was uh 16 when I when I started with t bling and when I started uh studying I was uh 21 so I I really had uh the feeling that that I have to yeah feel feel awful yeah you have to you have to you’re a bit behind with everything so
I I really um PR a lot we practiced a lot and and now it’s hard don’t you find that it’s hard when you have a job where you play your instrument all the day and then you don’t it’s sometimes hard to find the hours to practice ex except for Matias because Matias practices all the time I I want to
I I have to yeah tell us about your because I was so impressed impress we talked about this recently and you told me that you need it you really it’s like your ritual you you love to practice yes I I think it’s very interesting to test each day what works what works not and but um um I think it’s it’s um uh important to have a look for example to the singers yeah uh they work with their whole body and uh we brass players uh too in in a in a special way so we cannot um ignore um our feeling so if
I feel not so good I have to stop immediately and um to wait that’s a very good tip because students often ignore that point and then they hurt their lips yeah and because mostly you have to think oh there’s a big concept you have to practice and it feels not good you are tired already and you think you have to practice but in this case it it doesn’t uh work good so u in this case we have to make
U rest and concert day warm up a little bit um and then um the famous standing rehearsal before and then uh we have the whole energy for the concer that’s very important yeah how do you keep you have to play all these high notes Crystal do you press like crazy tell us the truth little no really sometimes there’s a lot lot pressure yeah a lot pressure but
I’m normally I’m practicing not more than 20 30 minutes a day and but you have a lot of uh work work to do with the Opera you play still at the yeah not so much but if we have John brass concert I start one week before and then I like bodybuilding for the lips bodybuilding for the lips so it’s about 1 hour one and a half hour it’s great when you play in a concert with
John R and I I I stand opposite um U and Kristoff and when they get to the really high notes you see their eyes going like that it’s great I love being in that in that direction of all these all these high notes it’s incredible if i’ I’ve been 15 years I got my first Piccolo and I tried to play and was automatically up to
I don’t know one it is it’s just something you could do yeah because Kristoff is actually second his job is second trumpet at the Opera so your job must seem like cheber playe yeah relax in his job to play would jum yes and U what about bass trombone what what tips can you give uh students playing playing bass trombone in an ensemble always play together with the
TU I would imagine keep cool keep cool is Uber the cool and calm one in the group yeah yeah definitely but he’s always warming up somewhere Uber’s always in some Corner in some room and some hallway when you get older you have to yeah you have to warm up long said that he doesn’t fit for everybody um
Fritz how do you manage trombone and euphonia uh I try to um change very often in the same practice session yes yes my practice sessions are uh only 20 to 30 minutes not longer and when I began my my my my study in uh High School where wolong was one of the famous teachers I practiced um um after the system from
BR Loa you know him was about four to 5 hours it was too hot for me I’m only able to practice two maybe two or three two or three not not more not more and if I I have time at home I only play 20 to 30 minutes and then make one hour break and then the next 30 minutes yeah this is people people like to know these these these secret tips of of everybody um um what is the biggest challenge of playing in
The Ensemble someone wanted to know Matias of of learning a new piece I guess the time of finding time to come together how do you rehearse do you rehearse slow do you rehearse quiet I don’t remember you rehearsing actually very quiet but yeah it’s U it’s perhaps like a puzzle yeah you you know uh the difficult Parts in in a piece and practice first very slow and then per perhaps uh you think oh if you play this uh on a on a other trumpet um
Pitch C trumpet or E flat trumpet it works much easier so then I write another part another trumpet part um it’s um uh more time to spend uh to find the right piece and uh the right parts and then it works much easier and that’s a big say fertile advant very good boys very good thank you very much uh if you ask a composer yeah he don’t know exactly what works um with different trumpets or for special players and that’s a great advance for for us how do you keep your low notes nice after playing so many high notes someone
Alexander wanted to know for me yeah you you practice all over the instrument yeah um so I at home I practice uh with Piccolo with a E flat so all the different instrument instrument every day more yes I I try yeah and that makes it flexible yeah since 40 years 40 years so good together with u and we played together in a
Youth Orchestra since 80 1980 van who’s not here van is still in the car Char valindor is also still in the car he can’t make it today he on his way back but as long as they make it in time for the concert that’s okay van you you played it which The Bu The National Orchestra a sweet so then we started to play
Sweet Music and Quint and so how many trumpets do you play in a German brass concert it depends but we have 10 10 different they are all over the floor so that when we come on the front for the Applause he has the most when we come over on the front for the Applause at the end of the concert you have to who was it you knocked over you knocked over a trumpet at the last concert yeah so how many do you play and a little corner corner corner to catcha is is you you some you and ver sometimes play this yeah a very small
B flat high flat horn and uh because our instrument is is so colorful all the brass instrument it’s a bit a big Advance um uh to the strings yeah they have always the same sound yeah they have a little mute but we have so different mutes and so different instruments with different sounds and we want to show this yeah yeah that’s really great
Matias by the way has a really great website U Matias hook dode and what’s great is that everyone always on the hangout wants to know about instruments you have a whole page that explains all your instruments so uh I think you could do that for the whole German brass team couldn’t you yeah yeah and you have to organize thank you this is why they want a girl the coffee and the cake organizing the website yeah right but it’s little different because everybody’s playing other kinds of was that
Mar yeah Kristoff is also the managing director of German BR together with together with Stefan you two are the big bosses um what are your plans what what’s coming up because we have a lot of people asking when are you going to tour America when are you going to tour Britain they want to know whether you’re coming to the
UK um Australia Australia when want to come to Australia yes yes of course we we are want to go to to the states and also to Australia and the last years a lot of people and especially universities asks us to come when do ger does German R come to the states and we had one tour in the middle west with 13 concerts and one concert of the did you stay in nice motels everywhere every day the procedure
Inc and one time we played in Avery Fisher Hall together with the principal brass players from New York pH Phil Myers and Phil Smith and I think they’re called holiday brass yeah but um Five Guys Five was only three look like like five yeah yeah and they came also here to Berlin we play here together some some years ago so we want to go we would like we would like to plan something with you thein
Phil BR and the nice very nice absolutely lot of noise going on over here yeah ex we only have one little mic but actually it’s really nice I think when we turn the cameras off we’ll just carry on here and carry on talking the boys have a concert so we can’t keep you too long um we’ve been going we some more questions to get to get to come to
Australia please people are writing Jill said Jill Williams over here in the corner thank you we we will get them over to visit you I promise yeah we promise yeah we promise okay what’s your usual warmup asks Sean why don’t we shorten that down to say what’s your usual warm up for a concert stamp stamp me yeah what stamp your warm up
I warm up yeah what do you do yeah just a stamp stamp I thought youant stamp stamp James stamp James St you you do the whole no minutes yeah what about what do you warm up really wolf before yeah yeah a little bit yeah little bit just light like stamp the first first exercise firstc to get a little bit warm
Rel what about trombones Alex Alex has to warm up his vocal cord I don’t know I warm up 20 minutes half an hour before coner yes I don’t remember you some scales some long not what about you warm up on the eum I only warm up with the trombone it’s good Thon I begin with 10 minutes uh low notes yes and then
I make um part of a mixture between yeah it’s important isn’t it before to warm up before such a big concert but chba players can play for forever can’t they they can I mean they just they just play and play yeah all I don’t know all all the people are telling this so is it true might might be true is it true um yeah it uh um depends on on the on the uh the mouthpiece of course maybe it’s not so um exhausting than playing playing hor but uh also tuba players have yeah sometimes they are tired at the end of the the
Russia piece that was you were you look pretty exhausted then I couldn’t hear it but but I think everybody’s exhausted after the Russia peace what’s it called again the the rusland Russia by day and night um they are all on your UCD aren’t they fantastic moments no which one are they Russia’s not on it that’s why you had to send me the midi file
CU I couldn’t find it anywhere so that’s one for the for the next CD right um Kendall gray who’s a always a big uh supporter of the Hangouts he’s in on Chicago when uh not Chicago Houston right Kendall did I get that right hope so when you come back together when you come together from your various orchestras and jobs is there anything special you need to do to find the group sound or is the group sound just there yeah yeah it is there it’s just there yeah and that’s make it very easy for um for players come only for one concert or for the first
Rehearsal perhaps because they find already a group with a very close sound and a very close style and articulation and so we cannot explain this but if you play over uh 30 years together it’s grows up yeah alesandro from Italy wants to know how do you all feel to be famous we are famous of course you’re famous do you guys they’re famous what
I German brass has really loved abroad I mean Tim a wonderful Tim in Melbourne when I said uh we’re going to do a hangout with ger brass he was he was over the moon because even though you don’t Tour all that much um stay on Earth nobody you don’t no nobody feels it it’s a sweet it’s a sweet question he’s he’s an old horn player or he’s playing since eight years
I’m not quite sure anyway um thank you for all your all your questions there’s really a lot coming in you can read them afterwards a good one I think is um from Kai he wants to know who are your brass Heroes do you have a brass hero yes yes morrice Andre morrice Andre U start thinking boys orchestral playing was my teacher here in the
Berlin filon C leag it was a famous baseball player over 35 years and this was my hero yeah he was my I have no hero but I had a dream this was to play with this great guys and with J BR that’s Fant that’s really nice Matas yeah I think I think if you have play together with um very famous uh musicians
U it depends not which instument they play it’s all you you open your ears and and you learn from them so um it’s not necessary to to find a trumpet player uh as your hero um if I hear a singer or a violent player you can learn from everyone so it’s very interesting and so so many plays
Scaro and so and so you can learn from from everywh yeah for for Tu bling I I always admir V because I I I when when I was young I uh heard all the drum BR CDs of course and I led it one one kind of huge huge guy but my favorite musician and horn player is britz wly do you know yes yeah great in my in my opinion is is the greatest musician he he had so much feeling and so great lines
I like it very much and my wish on my was always to play like him singing on my hor but uh couldn’t realize it really oh that’s not true but singing is very important really it’s my really my and H playing Alan C you know him of course of course rest rest your soul um I had no when
I was young I I heard a lot of jazz and and rock and tell not classical but not classical music and so I had no Classical Idol or how do you I maybe trumpet I love the trumpet DK Watkins something as a lead trumpet player Chris to play my part I I WR but I had I had yeah yeah that’s an interesting question you know you know
FR used to be a horn player I I know that he used to play the horn and that’s probably why he was such a good singer a great career we have to to start singing career you know you did study singing I read it and you not only sing you play violin in the viola of course we allow to say that cool was a great
VI player I was was I was uh obsessed I was addicted I was really obsessed to play Ving what happened uh I broke my hand oh dear it’s over yeah before the Hangouts over I have a little surprise for you boys um there’s a group that are really really big fans of yours and let’s just warm up the warm this up and if
