Blending a deep respect for the genre’s rich heritage with a vibrant virtuosity, the Connaughts have come a long way since their debut performance at St George’s three years’ ago, sharing their bold, inspiring vision of what brass music can be at some of the most prestigious venues around the world. Tonight will be a mix of traditional,. Baroque and popular tunes, played with their characteristic verve and brilliance.

‘Technically astonishing, eclectic in repertoire, and prepared to explode clichés of what brass chamber music should sound like.’ (The Arts Desk)
