THE POTSDAM BRASS QUINTET

---

The Potsdam Brass Quintet, established in 1968, is the brass quintet-in-residence at the Crane School of Music, State University of New York at Potsdam. The members of the quintet, John Ellis and James Madeja, trumpets; Roy Schaberg, horn; Mark Hartman, trombone; and Peter Popiel, tuba; bring a wealth of experience to the ensemble as both musicians and educators. The quintet has performed in concert throughout much of the United States, appearing at state, regional, and national conventions of the Music Educators National Conference, in university and community artist series, and in clinic/workshop settings for younger audiences. The Potsdam Brass Quintet has performed twice at New York's Lincon Center and was featured at the annual convention of the International Horn Society. The ensemble's two recordings, New York Composers and Music for Brass Quintet, have introduced new musical works to the ever widening brass quintet repertoire.
