The masterclass day with Onyx Brass was absolutely fantastic – some of the best ensemble teaching I have ever received. It was great to play alongside the group in concert, and to participate in a professional style rehearsal gave me a great insight in to the working of a top flight brass quintet. I certainly learnt a lot from the day and would relish the opportunity of doing something similar again.

You have hit the jack-pot with these artists. Our audience just loved them. Almost a week later people are calling me about how much they enjoyed the concert. There were a number if things beyond their impeccable presentation and performance. The group really warmed up the audience at the Pre-concert. At the concert, the patter between numbers was both informative and humorous. Their personalities drew the audience in immediately. Several people remarked about the program which for which we worked together to have a very sophisticated mostly non-transcribed works. It certainly helped to have the composer of some of the works actually present and playing in the concert. Although we cannot guarantee them the thrill of the Miss USA contestants again, we would like to have them back in several years. They were phenomenal.
