ACE Brass (Auckland Chamber Ensemble Brass) was formed in 2011 with the intention of bringing world class chamber music into the concert halls and homes of New Zealand. Bringing together a wealth of experience in solo, orchestral and chamber music, these three talented musicians embrace the fascinating and versatile repertoire of the brass trio.
ACE Brass are available for hire for your private function, be it a wedding, anniversary, birthday or corporate event. They are happy to discuss personalised options with you to make your occasion as special and memorable as possible.
ACE Brass has the unique ability to adapt musically to any ceremony setting, with the versatility to play proudly and celebratory, or quiet and serenely. While strings or harp may be too quiet for an outdoor wedding, ACE Brass is the perfect fit. Brass also sound beautifully regal in a traditional chapel or church.
Music featuring Brass is ideal for use during your wedding ceremony. The visual boldness of brass and versatile sounds of the instruments can enhance any church service or garden ceremony. Some of the more up-beat repertoire can add to any reception, especially during pre-dinner drinks.
Music can be provided for 15 minutes before the ceremony time as your guests are arriving and being seated. If the bride is making a formal entrance then we are happy to play the bridal party in, either with the traditional Bridal Chorus or something of your own choosing. Two pieces of music are usually required for the signing of the register, with something either joyful or sentimental reserved for the conclusion of the ceremony.
Ideal for: background music for wedding, corporate function, private party Christmas event
