"Wonderful, virtuoso brass quintet...smooth, well-blended, beautifully burnished sound"BBC Radio 3 Record Review

Forming the climax of a Cedars Hall Brass Day, Onyx was founded in 1983 as an approachable yet seriously virtuosic brass chamber group. Its members hold principal positions with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, English National Opera, English Chamber Orchestra and more.

Onyx's concert will include commissions by Emily Hall and Jason Rebello plus music by Couperin and Shostakovich and they will also be joined by young brass students for the William Tell Overture for massed brass and Duke Ellington's C Jam Blues.

Please note: An informal pre-concert performance by Wells Cathedral School brass players will be given at 6.00 pm. The bar will be open.
