Symphonic Brass is a chamber ensemble for players of grade 6 standard and above which rehearses at Whitchurch High School each Friday evening.
Symphonic Brass performs music from across five centuries, and its programmes can include anything from renaissance polyphony, baroque masterpieces and brass band classics through to jazz standards and cutting edge contemporary scores. Symphonic Brass has premiered a number of works by leading Welsh composers and will give the first performance of a new piece by Iain James Veitch at the Penarth Chamber Music Festival in June 2025.
Symphonic Brass’s exciting schedule includes engagements throughout the county and beyond. Its many tour destinations have included London, Birmingham, Manchester, York, Oxford, Scotland and Norway. Some engagements in 2025 include appearances at the Senedd, Newport, Salisbury and at Portsmouth Cathedral.
