BRISTOL BRASS CONSORT

Formed in 1985, the Bristol Brass Consort is a symphonic brass ensemble which regularly performs established brass repertoire as well as lesser known works and new commissions. The group regularly performs for music societies, festivals, concert series and weddings... Bristol Brass Consort is structured as a brass quintet as its core ensemble, consisting of two trumpets, French horn, trombone and tuba. We also expand to bigger formations including brass dectet and 18-piece large ensemble depending on the repertoire... As a 10 piece ensemble we perform across a wide selection of musical periods and styles. We play music originally written for these forces alongside arrangements of well known tunes by Bach and Purcell through to The Beatles form the backbone of these concerts, which are provided in a friendly and fun atmosphere.
