RCM and London Brass

After their brass quintet recently won the inter-collegiate competition at Brass Explosion in Glasgow last month, the Royal College of Music Brass Ensemble share a recital with London Brass. Directed by dynamic new head of brass and Philharmonia principal horn, Nigel Black, they will be put through their paces with music including Previn's excellent quintet, the virtuosic jazz number The Chicken and finish with Eric Crees' favourite arrangement of Suite from West Side Story.
