Founded in 1989 by Jeffrey Nussbaum, the Historic Brass Society (HBS) is the
international community of professional and amateur players, researchers, and makers
of historical brass instruments. The interests of the HBS encompass the entire range of
early brass music, literature and historical performance practice, from antiquity through
the present, including the natural trumpet, natural horn, early trombone, cornetto,
serpent, keyed bugle, keyed trumpet, early valve horn, 19th-century brass instruments
and the development of jazz.
The HBS publishes the annual Historic Brass Society Journal, which is its flagship
scholarly (refereed) journal, as well as news of the field and member profiles in its
multilingual newsletter, Historic Brass Today. This session will survey the trends in the
organization's publications, conferences, and awards over the past 35 years.
