The Rockford Symphony Orchestra hired Brassworks to perform at its annual fundraising gala. Mark Olen is a remarkable person, an excellent musician, and a consummate professional. He was very prompt in responding to any inquiries we had, and flexible in programming. My organizing committee members have heaped praise upon me for my good taste in selecting Brassworks. Dozens of attendees commented on how much they enjoyed the music at our event. The musicians were spirited and engaging. I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Olen again. Anything he says he can do, he will do well. Overall, an A+.

I hired Mark Olen and the Brassworks Music Productions for our Chicago revival of the play Side Man. He played a short set before our curtain and audience members were thrilled to experience the incredible live music. He is the consummate professional and true jazz artist. I highly recommend Mark and will most certainly use him in the future.

Mark Olen communicated with us diligently, responding always to our emails, and he and his group were completely capable fulfilling our requests! He was punctual. His musicianship is superlative, a joy to listen to! Jazz standards, ballads, etc. He learned a few new songs that we requested! My friends told me how pleasant his music was and I agreed! It was a completely amazing performance! I would highly recommend Brassworks Music Productions!

Mark and the rest of his trio played for my wedding reception. Their style, professionalism and quality were exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how the event turned out! We couldn’t be more happy with choosing them for our wedding! I would absolutely recommend their services to all of my friends and family.

Mark and Brassworks Music Productions are amazing!!!! Highly recommended!
