Nautilus Brass is a brass quintet made up of students from New England Conservatory. During the 2025–2026 school year, Nautilus Brass was named an NEC Honors Ensemble. This designation has only been given to two other brass ensembles in the past 20 years. As musicians, they aspire to showcase the many different settings of brass in chamber music. They are coached by Michael Dobrinski, and their primary teachers are Tom Siders, Jason Snider, Steve Lange, and Mike Roylance.
