Connaught Brass

Connaught Brass

Presented by Saffron Hall

Part of Young Artist Concerts

The members of Connaught Brass stood together, holding their instruments, laughing with one another

From the delicate intimacy of chamber music to a rich toned power reminiscent of a full brass band, this virtuosic and versatile British brass quintet realise the full potential of a richly diverse spectrum of music.

They are making waves at home and abroad; after prestige appearances at the Lucerne Festival and the Wigmore Hall they return with a characteristically bold and vibrant programme, from folk-tinged miniatures from Northern Europe to the lush Romanticism of the African-American Florence Price.
