Celebrating the group's 21st birthday, the acclaimed Onyx Brass presents an exciting commission for brass quintet by composer David Sawer in over twenty informal and free outdoor performances across Britain's historic bandstands, outdoor festivals and public spaces. The project brings contemporary music out of the concert hall and on to the village green.
‘We were thrilled to get this chance to work with David and to bring new British music to people all over the UK from all walks of life, on bandstands and village greens around the UK. Our 20 years work in brass chamber music have been leading up to this scale of project, so what a wonderful way to celebrate our 21st birthday!’ Onyx Brass
