Biography
The Motor City Brass Quintet draws upon some of Detroit's most admired and creative brass musicians, including members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Michigan Opera Theatre Orchestra, to operate as a versatile horn band whose repertoire extends across classical, ragtime, modern pop, and jazz. Principal members of the band include Scott Thornburg and Derek Lockhart on trumpet, Eric Reed on French horn, John Rutherford on trombone, and Jacob Cameron on tuba, although many other Detroit-area brass players have sat in with the group from time to time. Their debut album, Christmas Vespers, anchored by the premiere recording of John Harbison’s “Christmas Vespers,” was released by Brassjar Music in 2009.
