A resounding finish to the season is expected when acclaimed quintet Onyx Brass plays
for our 83rd Anniversary concert. It celebrated its 30th anniversary last year and continues
to be the leading light in establishing the brass quintet as a medium for serious chamber
music, combining ‘staggering virtuosity’ (Sarah Walker, BBC Radio 3) with the entertaining
and articulate style that has become the group’s trademark. Onyx has toured extensively:
there are very few corners of the UK that remain unvisited! The group has also performed
regularly at festivals and concert halls in the USA, Ireland, France, Sweden, Germany,
Portugal, Switzerland, Nigeria, Bermuda and Borneo to unanimous critical acclaim. The
group’s extensive discography has received huge critical acclaim, Gramophone hail ‘some
of the most thrilling chamber brass-playing of its kind’ and Record Review (R3) describing
the group as a ‘wonderful, virtuosic brass quintet’. The programme ranges from
Monteverdi’s Vespers, Rameau and Bach to Shostakovich, Arnold and Bernstein’s West
Side Story Suite.
