After recently completing studying individually at the Royal Northern College of Music, all members of A4 Brass Quartet have focused on chamber music and subsequently were accepted onto the highly prestigious International Artist Diploma in Chamber Music course at the RNCM for the academic year 2017/18.
During this exciting year studying as a chamber ensemble, A4 Brass aims to continue performing concerts across the UK and abroad, and becoming Tunnell Trust artists is a fantastic opportunity to perform at music clubs across Scotland. Alongside currently being
Tillett Trust Young Artists, A4 Brass are applying to become Live Music Now musicians and intend also to continue to commission a variety of new works to perform at concerts and to record on their second CD with the World of Sound record label. Their programme is to contain works by Mendelssohn, Grainger, Scottish Traditional and arrangements from classical opera.
This is a Tunnell Trust Recital.
