ONYX BRASS

Testimonial

Refined and beautiful quintet playing, with presentation and teaching skills of the  highest order 

Kevin Price, Head of Brass, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama

Everything went very well with the Onyx performance and residency. Despite their long trip, and evident fatigue, I had nothing but rave reviews of their masterclasses and their two  school events: these guys are charming, able to address a wide variety of age and experience  levels, and most accommodating. We loved having them here, and would be happy to have them back some time.

One of the best professional groups in the business………..in short Onyx Brass looks and sounds like a smart operation. 

Classical Music Magazine, April 2006

The Onyx Brass quintet came to Weymouth Music Club with the high standards of musicianship that we have come to expect — technical expertise, rhythmic precision, beautiful tone and great ensemble playing 

Dorset Echo, November 2004

The Onyx Brass concert was wonderful. It was a great program and beautifully performed. British brass players produce a very special sound. Members of the Onyx Brass were also great to deal with and members of the audience enjoyed visiting with them after the concert. 

Tom McClintock, Corvallis-OSU Music Association, OR, presenter

What a terrific success the concert by Onyx Brass was. The large audience was obviously taken with these wonderful music makers. Not only are the members of Onyx Brass superb musicians able to produce rich, burnished sounds, they are also some of the most amiable and simpatico young musicians we have encountered in 25 years of presenting concerts.

Really top-notch! A wonderful ensemble.
