Onyx at Northern Aldborough Festival

Onyx Brass gave a great performance at the Northern Aldborough Festival last Thursday, to a full audience who loved it!  The programme was based around their ‘Golden Age’ programme of English and Italian renaissance music, including Dowland, Monteverdi and Holbourne.  We hope we can go back to the Festival soon!

One of Britain’s classiest brass acts…stands apart from the rest of the field…holds its own as one of the finest brass groups in the country…audience enjoyment is paramount….If you ever see a concert by Onyx advertised, it is certainly worth a visit to listen to this energetic and dynamic brass group, which is busy attracting audiences to the genre of new brass music.
