Onyx Brass
Programme Note
Onyx Brass is one of the rare breed of chamber ensembles whose musical and technical virtuosity is matched by the accessibility and vitality of their presentation. Their mission is to have their extraordinary abilities at the disposal of the music at all times, and to play music of the requisite quality to reflect the status of the brass quintet as a serious medium for chamber music. The richness and warmth of their sound is remarked upon by all who hear them. All five members perform in leading British symphony orchestras and hold senior teaching positions in music conservatoires.
This concert will feature the full gamut of repertoire for which the group is famed (some of which is listed above), including music by Bach and Handel as well as from the world of musical theatre, all specially arranged for brass quintet. There will also be a piece featuring pupils from King’s.
