Next concert – Alba Brass

The next Music Society concert will be on Saturday 16 February, again at 1.30pm, but this time back in Brodick Hall. Alba Brass comprises a group of five players, two trumpets, horn, trombone, and tuba, and they offer wonderfully varied musical styles. As well as the classic repertoire, they move happily in the worlds of jazz and folk song. They are internationally famous, appearing at concerts and festivals all over Europe, Russia, North America and the Middle East, and regularly commission new work. Last year they collaborated with Sax Ecosse and The Whistlebinkies in the première performance of Eddie McGuire’s UCS Work In Suite.

As individual performers, members of Alba Brass are in hot demand and can often be heard playing with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Scottish Ballet Orchestra. As a group, they have recently been recording for the BBC’s Songs of Praise and have also recorded for STV’s Spirit of Scotland awards.

Don’t miss these brilliant players – they really are a treat. Saturday afternoon, February 16th, starting at 1.30 pm in Brodick Hall.
