"I have twice had the pleasure of listening to and working with the Gaudete Brass Quintet. They are an excellent performance group who also enriched our education efforts. They performed a beautiful mini-concert at the Abraham Lincoln Library and Museum during the spring of 2007. I am utilizing them as a creative partner for future programming, and unreservedly recommend them to other universities, colleges, schools, and museums.

"The concert that the Gaudete Brass presented was one of the brightest highlights in the ten years of Lake Park's Musical Mondays. It was a privilege to present you. Having been a part of a performing group myself, I know the joy of making music with and for others and truly envy the caliber of excellence each of you brings to this extraordinary quintet."

"The Gaudete Brass Quintet is a superb group of instrumentalists who capture the spirit of brass ensemble literature with an alluring excitement that embraces even the youngest audiences. We were fortunate to hear the quintet in a mini-concert and educational exchange as the ensemble performed for our beginning band classes and Honors & Symphonic Bands. Each player offered explanations about their instruments and techniques, valuable inspiration for middle school students, and an understanding of the literature performed. The group connected well with our young scholars and helped to begin the school year with an A+ musical rally! The ensemble is a great resource for directors and truly a partner for music educators!"

"We were fortunate to find this talented young ensemble to play for our student musicians at Furman. It is refreshing to see the Gaudete Brass entering the professional ranks with such zeal, commitment, and musicianship. Their masterclass was well organized, informative, and more impressively, their playing was top-notch. This is certainly a group on the rise. I give them a hearty “thumbs up”!"

"I had the occasion recently to hear the Quintet on a concert in Milwaukee. Their artistry was extraordinary. Each of the members is a fine player in their own right ... They understand their music and play with great sensitivity, balance and musicianly care for the ensemble's well being and musical impact. Their concert was also filled with an outstanding repertoire of diverse and contrasting musical styles and from differing historical periods ...the pieces were extremely well done and were equally well performed."
