Nordic Brass Ensemble

The Nordic Brass Ensemble (NBE) was established in 1993 by leading wind instrumentalists from the best symphony orchestras of Scandinavia. From the outset this remarkable ensemble has focused on developing its own musical ideas. Exploring and combining the diverse properties of the instruments at its disposal allows the group to constantly shape its sound in new and distinctive ways.

The ensemble’s critically acclaimed album European Tour (2016) rests on a foundation of Renaissance and Early Baroque music. The NBE regularly performs throughout Scandinavia and has recently undertaken tours of Germany, Italy, Austria, Spain, and South America.

This time, these professional members of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, Norwegian National Opera Orchestra, Trondheim Symphony Orchestra, and Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra will bring their art to the Church of Saints Simon and Jude for the Prague Proms; the programme will include compositions from the aforementioned album European Tour.

Beautiful Sts. Simon and Jude Church in Prague Old Town serves as a concert hall

Amicable and uplifting atmosphere of the Sts. Simon and Jude Church is the ideal place to enjoy masterpieces of classical and sacred music. The Church of Sts. Simon and Jude is unique by its initiation - it is the only Prague church dedicated to the apostolic pair, Simon and Jude Taddeas.

The church was founded in 1354 as a hospital chapel and later rebuilt as a hall church with niches and chapels. The late Renaissance church served as a temple of Czech Brethren. In 1620, during recatholisation of the whole country, the Emperor donated the church to the Order of Merciful Brothers.

They rebuilt the church in Baroque style and added on a large adjacent convent and hospital. The late Baroque church organ was played by Mozart and Haydn. It is still functional and famous for its excellent authentic sound. After 1989, the church was given back to the Order of Merciful Brothers who lent it for use to the Prague Symphony Orchestra. In Sts. Simon and Jude Church orchestral concerts as well as chamber concerts of early music are held, in particular traditional cycle dedicated to the authentic interpretation of Baroque music is highly appreciated by both critics and audiences.

This was a very special event. The 11 players were all experts and the ensemble was beautiful. The instrumentation and spatial arrangement of the players changed frequently in order to bring out the most interesting aspects of each piece and sometimes to enhance the antiphonal character of the work being played. Especially when the piccolo trumpets played, it sounded like a big pipe organ. One of the most memorable of many concerts we have attended.
