“Everything about the program struck me as first class and the proof was in the playing!” - Tim Page, music critic, Washington Post

"The Gramercy group may well be the most exciting brass group I have ever heard." - Gettysburg Festival News ..




Named the official brass band of New York by Mayor Rudy Giuliani. American Record Review calls the group excellent and Brass Band Bridge Magazine says "Gramercy Brass establishes the bench mark". The New York Times calls them "the ultimate in pomp and circumstance". The group gets its name from the area of Manhattan in which founder John Henry Lambert grew up, Gramercy Park.

Not only is GBOofNY an awesome concert experience, playing everything from Shostakovich to Duke Ellington, they have always had a deep involvement with education. Open rehearsals, master classes, school clinics, and their ever growing brass band camp at Caldwell College in Caldwell, New Jersey. They are affiliated with numerous schools in NJ and NYC, including the LaGuardia School for the Performing Arts and one of the only schools in the nation to have a dedicated brass band program, St.Hilda's and St. Hugh's.

In performance they collaborate with a wide variety of instrumentalists and singers including broadway performers like Brian Stokes Mitchell and tenor Michael Amante. Jazz luminaries the likes of Dena DeRose and Dave Brubeck have also shared the stage with Gramercy Brass Orchestra of New York.

The concerts are always exciting and full of something for everyone.
