The Cantare Brass Quintet is a group of dynamic chamber musicians committed to delivering exceptional performances in brass chamber music. Established in 2023, the ensemble and its members have been actively involved in a multitude of creative professional endeavors across various universities and community, public, and private music programs throughout the United States.

The ensemble consists of university professors and professional musicians hailing from different corners of the United States. Dr. Maximilian McNutt, Lecturer of Trumpet at the University of Virginia; Mr. Michael Gause, Assistant Professor of Trumpet at the University of Iowa; Dr. Andrew Sehmann, 2nd horn with the South Carolina Philharmonic and various universities within Georgia (USA); Dr. Aaron Zalkind, Principal Trombone of the New Mexico Philharmonic; and Dr. Patrick Young, Assistant Professor of Low Brass/Director of Bands at Idaho State University.
