Barbican Brass is a group of five exciting young musicians who all met whilst studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. As contemporaries in the European Union Youth Orchestra, each of the Group’s members have now begun to build impressive reputations at the start of what looks set to be five very illustrious careers. After successfully recording a CD in 2008, Barbican Brass performed at numerous recitals around the UK in 2009 including Appleby Music Festival, Ackworth Concert Society and Music in Mayfair. Also in 2009, the Group performed for the Metropolitan Police at New Scotland Yard, provided music for the National Lottery’s 15th Anniversary celebrations and were featured as cover artists in the October edition of Muso Magazine. In March 2010, Barbican Brass performed on Norwegian Radio from the Winter Chamber Music Festival in Roros and have recently given performances, classes and talks at both Southampton University and the University of Surrey as part of the Guildford International Festival. Actively keen on promoting new works, the Group commissioned Andrew Brinsford’s ‘Quintet’ in 2009 and an arrangement of Olympic Fanfare by Evan Jolly.
