Experience the glory of brass music from the Renaissance to the Baroque in the lovely setting of Hellingly Church, with iconic works by mast
Complimenting such icons of the era as Monteverdi, Handel, Bach and Purcell will be lesser known but equally significant works from the likes of Gabrieli, Scheidt, Pezel and Byrd as we travel on a journey through the development of brass music to its conclusion as the modern brass quintet with more recent works bearing tribute and influence to the old schools.
Hosted in the suitably ambient surroundings of Hellingly church, Long Man Brass aim to reproduce the spirit and style of the era through a modern brass quintet inviting listeners to explore the glory of Renaissance music in an authentic yet familiar setting.
LONG MAN BRASS
Andrew Baxter, trumpet,
Marcus Plant, trumpet
Emma Laurens, french horn
Chris Schmidt, trombone
David Hush, tuba
Formed in 2022 from some of the best brass players in Sussex, Long Man Brass are a group of musicians who came together with the primary objective of exploring and developing purpose written repertoire for the modern brass quintet of two trumpets, french horn, trombone and tuba.
Just at home with the contemporary as with the Renaissance, Long Man Brass are equally keen to showcase regional living composers encouraging the composition of works for the often overlooked brass ensemble.
Individually, the members of the quintet are active musicians and educators having performed collectively with many of the country's major orchestras at some of the best venues through many musical genres.
