They have appeared at many N.Y. City area churches, schools, and universities, and the New York Brass Conference. Their repertoire extends from the renaissance to the present day and includes original works for brass as well as transcriptions of other well-known works. Members of the HDBE have performed with the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Luke's, Fairfield Orchestra, many Broadway Shows, and with such artists as Johnny Mathis, The Temptations, and Tito Puente.

Joseph Alessi, Principal Trombone of the New York Philharmonic says "I recently had the privileged of performing with the Hora Decima Brass Ensemble. This ensemble is first-rate in every way: Great sound, balance, and musicianship, as well as fantastic virtuosity. Now New York as a great brass ensemble to boast about."
