In Medias Brass

The In Medias Brass was founded in 2010 by the former students of Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest. In August 2010 their first joint project was the 6. Jeju International Brass Competition, organized in South-Korea, where they had great success: in addition to coming first in the chamber music category they won every solo category they entered (horn, trombone and tuba) despite the fact that almost three hundred participants took place in the competition from all over the world.
