Known as the Monty Python of the music world, Mnozil Brass seamlessly combines slapstick comedy with extraordinary musical ability. The ensemble, comprised of Thomas Gansch, Robert Rother, Roman Rindberger, Leonhard Paul, Gerhard Füßl, Zoltan Kiss, and Wilfried Brandstötter, has established itself as one of the world’s premier brass ensembles. Mnozil Brass has delighted audiences with over 130 performances a year, selling out houses from Europe to Israel, China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Canada, and the United States. Their videos have garnered millions of YouTube views, and fans travel countless miles to experience the unique blend of humor and musicality that defines Mnozil Brass. Mnozil Brass takes 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. Their fearlessness, immense technical skill, and typical Viennese “schmäh” (sarcastic charm) have defined their musical journey. In their time away from touring, Mnozil Brass has recorded 8 albums and 6 DVDs, collaborated on three operetta and opera productions, and composed and recorded the music for the 2006 film “Freundschaft.” The group has been nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award and won the prestigious Salzburger Stier Cabaret Prize in 2006.
