is based in Gloucestershire, and comprises some of the leading brass players from the area, all of whom have met through orchestras, ensembles, and jazz bands 'by accident.' The unique combination of talents, personalities, and shared synergies flavour the collective, which can step from ‘Classical’ to ‘Jazz’ and commercial styles with ease. Driven by a desire to push the audience experience to the highest standard achievable within their means, they ‘intend to raise the roof and move the soul in equal measure’!
The ACCIDENTAL BRASS COLLECTIVE
The members of the group have a wide range of experience and individual musical talents that allows them to tackle a variety of styles across the centuries, from Mozart to Mercury, and Bach to Bridgerton! They always aim to give their audiences a great night out, starting their concerts with the more conventional brass repertoire, before getting jazzier and razzier as the night goes on!
"...from classical to jazz, Mozart to Mercury...Bach to Bridgerton...
a uniquely enjoyable and fun evening!"
