Welcome to Coda Brass!

Coda Brass Quintet performs a wide range of repertoire and features the music of traditionally under-represented composers and musicians. As five women who understand the impact of representation, we hope to inspire women and gender-marginalized brass players. We aim to be visible and present in our community, from inspiring young brass players through educational outreach and coaching developing musicians, to entertaining audiences of all ages with varied and thoughtful programming. 

For more information about Coda Brass, our members, and our current projects, please visit our About section!

Important message from our girl Dr. Libby Ando!! “I am so grateful that my research has been featured in two articles in the journal The Horn Call over this past year. The articles are about orchestral excerpts for horn by women composers: Amy Beach’s Gaelic Symphony, and Augusta Holmè’s symphonic poems Irlande and Andromeda. The articles came out in the May and October issues. I’m incredibly thankful to James Boldin and everyone at The Horn Call for featuring my work in the journal and interviewing me for the podcast!
