Berkeley Brass in Farnham

The Berkeley Brass dectet make their Farnham debut at The Spire Church. A lively programme ranging from Bach to the Beatles, in what should be a wonderful night of music making!

Berkeley Brass is a dynamic seven piece ensemble consisting of some of the brightest emerging brass talent in the UK. Formed in 2021 by students at the Royal Academy of Music, London, members of the group have performed with some of the world’s pre-eminent orchestras and ensembles.
​
Musical highlights include:
Putting on Smith Square Hall’s best-selling concert from their 23/24 lunchtime series, winning second place in the 2022 Worshipful Company of Musicians Brass Ensemble Prize, receiving a commission from the Sainsbury family to arrange and record ‘A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square’ for their 50th wedding anniversary, and appearing at the 2024 Students Create Festival with their pioneering “Young Person’s Guide to the Brass Septet”, featuring a bespoke arrangement of Prokofiev’s beloved ‘Peter and the Wolf’.
​
While both new and published arrangements of existing music are central to the group’s aim to expand the existing septet repertoire, Berkeley Brass frequently expands to perform brass octet and dectet repertoire.
