VOBK reviews

Read here what the audience thought about our performance at the Flemish Open Brass Band Championships:

“… During the Gala-knight there were several performances of  EXIT Brass, a quartet consisting of young Belgian topmusicians, who even on their young age made their names on international competitions in Belgium and abroad. EXIT Brass chooses for the no-nonsens approach and combines music and show wich makes funny combinations. You have to see this. The four stayed active during the whole weekend. Surprsing and refreshing… “
Cultuurraad Mechelen

” …an ensemble called Exit_Brass!, gave a very witty pastiche of Michael Jackson’s hits before the results were announced… “
Martin Westlake Blog

” During our yearly trip with the volleybal team we were surprised by your fantastic and fun performance on the Veemarkt in the sunny citycenter of Mechelen, we enjoyed.”

Her played the “Cornet Concierto” by Torstein Aagaard-Nilssen, next was Katrina Marzella who played the “Baritone Concerto” by Martin Ellerby, and last played Glenn van Looy the “three stories – three worlds” concerto for euphonium by Pete Meeachan. When Glenn was introduced by Frank Renton, Exit_Brass! got a lot of attention! :-)

Results:
1. Glenn van Looy
2. Katrina Marzella
3. Harmen Vanhoorne

Here you can see the interview with the finalists and the first 2 minutes of Glenn’s performance.
