Amo Brass

Lauded by acclaimed trumpeter Allan Dean as "wonderful people and excellent players", Amo Brass is an emerging chamber music ensemble which blends musical entertainment with artistic excellence. Comprised of Yale School of Music alumni, the ensemble is based in the greater New Haven area and is passionate about education, outreach, and performance. This spring, Amo Brass received the ABQ prize at the 50th Fischoff Chamber Music Competition. They recently completed a week-long educational outreach tour for public school students in the California Bay Area, where they visited 5 local schools and organized a side-by-side recital alongside students. Amo Brass frequently works with local organizations and non-profits, and firmly believes in balancing world class artistry with community partnership.

Amo Brass' vision for their ensemble is to provide a musical experience which offers a commitment to accessible education, cultural leadership, and service to society through the arts.



​Our mission is to connect the cultural fabric of communities by presenting diverse educational programming, musical performances, and community collaborations to audiences.

Amo Brass is committed to standing up against racism, sexism, and systemic inequalities which plague the field of classical music. All members are alumni of the Yale Music in Schools Initiative, which delivers free music education to underserved public school students of the New Haven community. Members Olivia Martinez and Vivian Kung are also active members of the Chromatic Brass Collective, a group which celebrates, performs, mentors and educates in an effort to increase the visibility of racially and ethnically underrepresented women and gender non-conforming people throughout the brass world.
