The Five Star Brass is the Brass Quintet of The United States Air Forces in Europe Band. With the traditional instrumentation of two trumpets, French horn, trombone and tuba plus percussion, the ensemble is known for their versatility and outstanding musicianship.

A component group of the USAFE Band, their performance repertoire spans five centuries, from the glorious antiphonal sounds of the Renaissance to the rich diversity of American musical styles. Whether a military march, jazz standard, or an original arrangement of patriotic favorites each Five Star Brass program is thoughtfully planned for a blend of inspiration and entertainment. Their repertoire has universal appeal and includes special programming for younger audiences. This ensemble not only performs in concert halls and civic events but also adds a distinctive presence to official military ceremonies and events of state.

These six gifted players proudly represent the United States and the skill and professionalism of its Air Force as musical ambassadors before military and civilian audiences throughout Europe.

What can be said about EMŠO BLUES BAND? It is a group of guys in their third stage of life. They love the fact that the music that they create keeps them young at heart. The band consists of mature "youngsters" that are no longer young but not ready to retire either. They create the music of their youth: blues and blues rock. The thing that brought them together was the legendary Allman Brothers Band - playing its music represents the core of their music portfolio, to which they usually add songs of other American blues rock bands.

The members might not be as sharp as they use to be, but they are patient and persistent. They have managed to create a band with a tradition that has performed at some of the biggest venues in Slovenia. Their main feature is dynamics and sound, but the audience knows them best for their vintage music.
