    Ventura Music Festival Presents Austria’s Great Mnozil Brass in a Special Performance of “Cirque” on March 22nd

    (Ventura, CA) – Mark the date!  On Sunday, March 22 at 3pm, the Ventura Music Festival will present Mnozil Brass in “Cirque” – the musical flea circus” delighting audiences worldwide.  The venue is the Rancho Campana Performing Arts Center in Camarillo.  

    “It’s a huge pleasure to present Mnozil Brass,” said Festival CEO Susan Scott; “They have legions of fans across the globe and we wanted to bring them for a long time.  Their playing is both jaw droppingly virtuosic and seriously funny.   When this tour was announced, I think we were the first to sign on. I know our first ticket-buyer was a band teacher ecstatic to see we were bringing Mnozil Brass. He bought a whole row for his students.”

    Exactly who are the Mnozil Brass?  a septet: six trumpets, six trombones and a tuba whose music embraces a mix of folk, jazz, pop and classical, resulting in “moments of sheer silliness and some of the finest brass playing imaginable.”

    According to music critic Bill Benzon: “Their repertoire is all over the place and their genius is unmistakable.  They are superb musicians . . . and skilled comedic performers, who put on (an extraordinary) show.  Much of what they do is deeply serious in a way that only inspired buffoonery can be.” 

    Tickets for this wildly entertaining and singular show range from $15 to $49, available at : https://venturamusicfestival.org/ or by calling  (805) 648-3146. Parking is plentiful and free at Rancho Campana Performing Art Center, the 700-seat state- of-the art center located at 4235 Mar Vista Dr.,  Camarillo, CA 93010

    As  to where the name came from, the group  took it from the Mnozil Pub across the street from the Vienna Music Conservancy where they were students.  (Pronunciation: Silent M.  So, it’s – No-zill)
