Adrian Chamber Brass
The Adrian Chamber Brass ensemble was founded in 1972 by a group of Lenawee County, Michigan high school and directors. The original group consisted of trumpet players Howard Stukey and Paul Mattausch, French horn player Gary Griffin, trombone player Richard Barber, euphonium player Richard Farley, and tuba player Michael Pratt. After one year Paul Mattausch was replaced by Bruce McCormick. The ensemble remained these six players for the next 35 years. During this time the group’s members were instrumental music teachers in Lenawee County, Michigan at Adrian, Blissfield, Onsted, Sand Creek and Tecumseh, among others, as well as Adrian College and Siena Heights University. They gave numerous performances at weddings, church services, concerts and street fairs. In recent years Ted Adams has replaced Bruce McCormick on trumpet and Robert Tuttle has replaced Richard Farley on euphonium. The ensemble became a septet in 2011 with the addition of Paul Stanifer on trumpet. The Adrian Chamber Brass is currently in its fifth decade ot performances in Michigan and Ohio.
