About The Chicago Gargoyle Brass

The Chicago Gargoyle Brass began in 1992 as a chamber group of faculty and students at the University of Chicago, whose campus architecture boasts a charming variety of the ensemble’s namesake. Today the Gargoyle Brass is in residence at The Union Church of Hinsdale. Members of the ensemble are classically trained professionals, playing in orchestras, jazz bands, and musical theaters around Chicago. The group has performed cantatas and major liturgical works in well-known churches of Chicagoland, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Concert recital venues have included the Newberry Library, Rockefeller Chapel of the University of Chicago, and the Graham-Taylor Chapel of Chicago Theological Seminary.
