Wednesday 2 April CLITHEROE
Trinity Methodist Church and Community Hub, Parson Lane BB7 2JY, 7.30pm PHOENIX BRASS QUINTET Formed in Manchester in 2022, Phoenix Brass are one of the top quintets and most exciting young chamber groups to come out of the city in recent years. Composed of eminent Manchester freelancers and senior students of the Royal Northern College of Music, the group shares a love of brass ensemble music and a desire to expand this repertoire – the Quintet recently gave a Thursday Evening Spotlight recital at the RNCM with a programme made up entirely of their own arrangements of music from the Cathedral evensong oeuvre (and a Norwegian film medley encore!). The members are also keen orchestral musicians and freelance regularly with the top orchestras in the North West, such as the Hallé, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and the Orchestra of Opera North.
