Chaconne Brass was formed in 1984 and has established a reputation as one of Britain's most versatile ensembles. Its repertoire spans from Praetorius to Steve Reich, from Gershwin to Miles Davis, from acoustic to electro-acoustic and from Brass to Beyond...
Chaconne Brass has an ever-growing list of over 50 works written for the group, a large part of which has been recorded. In addition to extensive touring with Chaconne Brass, members work as guest principals and soloists with some of the top orchestras and ensembles in Britain. Several members are also teachers as well as successful composers and arrangers with a large number of commissions, concerts and broadcasts in Britain and other countries.
A combination of entertainment, creativity and excellence has allowed Chaconne Brass to develop a totally unique style that appeals to audiences of all ages and backgrounds; whether it is a recital at London's South Bank, a radio or TV broadcast, a workshop for college students or a performance for very young school children, Chaconne Brass is always met with overwhelming enthusiasm.
Chaconne has a large and diverse repertoire of music spanning 600 years including many works specially written for the group; these have been commissioned to fit in with Chaconne's aim of pushing forward the musical boundaries as well as of presenting entertaining programs of the highest musical standards.
A typical Chaconne Brass performance will range from renaissance to modern, classics to experimental and from the profound to the downright silly.
Chaconne Brass have performed to audiences at the Queen Elisabeth Hall, Purcell Room, Conway Hall, St John's Smith Square and St Martin's-in-the-Fields London, St David's Hall Cardiff, die Philharmonie Berlin, BBC Radio 3, Radio 4, BBC1 TV and Classic FM.
Tonights concert will also include music by Mark Kesel and Torbjörn Hultmark.
