Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Triton Brass is an exciting musical collaborative comprising five of the region's most promising young talents.  Prize winners at the 2005 Lyon International Chamber Music Competition, 2003 Fischoff International Chamber Music Competition, and semi-finalists at the Concert Artists Guild Competition, Triton is a tour-de-force in contemporary chamber music. 
 
The ensemble holds residencies at The Boston Conservatory of Music & Dance and Boston College, performing & instructing regularly.  During the summer, Triton proudly hosts the Atlantic Brass Quintet Seminar at MIT and the Boston Conservatory Summer Brass Intensive.  Triton held residence at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute for six summers, teaching morning instrument classes and afternoon chamber music seminars for the BUTI Wind Ensemble program, conducted by H. Robert Reynolds and David J. Martins. 
 
Originating from all corners of the United States, the members of the Triton Brass have combined their talents into a dynamic and versatile ensemble.  The group proudly boasts that the same five individuals that performed Triton's first public recital in 2002 (Steve, Andrew, Shelagh, Wes & Jobey) continue making music together today.  They met as students at the New England Conservatory and The Boston Conservatory, and are now well-respected New England area freelance musicians, performing and teaching in a wide variety of settings from Maine to New York.  As they would say, they are "family."
 
Tritons have performed with the Boston Symphony, the Boston Pops, Boston Ballet, Boston Philharmonic, Vermont Symphony, New Hampshire Symphony, Portland Symphony, Rhode Island Philharmonic, Albany Symphony and performed in orchestra pits for Broadway shows.  The group has performed in many prestigious venues including Tanglewood's Ozawa Hall, the Lyon Opera House, and the grand opening "Tuning of the Hall" for the Rockport Chamber Music Festival's new Shalin Liu Hall, along with the Grammy Award-winning Jupiter String Quartet.  Triton has held residencies at numerous universities all over the country performing recitals, masterclasses, and clinics for the university ensembles. 
 
The Quintet performs extensively in numerous capacities, including recitals, educational concerts and residencies, formal affairs, and collaborative endeavors.
