Staging and Storytelling: Lessons from Mnozil Brass

In this episode of Intentional Musicianship, Jeff Price takes us through the intricate art of staging and storytelling in live performances, drawing inspiration from the world-renowned brass ensemble, Mnozil Brass. Jeff shares his experience attending their 30th-anniversary tour and delves into how their creative use of staging and non-verbal communication can inspire musicians to enhance their own performances.

Mnozil Brass's ability to connect with the audience without uttering a word, relying solely on their musicianship and choreographed movements, serves as a powerful example of how thoughtful staging can elevate a musical performance. Jeff offers practical tips on how musicians of all genres can use stage positioning, movement, and storytelling to create memorable moments that resonate with the audience.

Whether you're performing in a small ensemble, a concert band, or a solo act, this episode provides actionable insights into how you can use the stage to your advantage and tell a story that goes beyond the music.
