Musical Programme
The Quintet programme contains a wide range of music that showcases the versatility of the brass quintet, featuring many different musical eras and styles. It spans a four century timescale from the Renaissance to the present day, with plenty of lighter entertaining music to round off the evening. A notable feature is a gorgeous piece by local composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, who lived and worked in Dorking. In between the music, members of the quintet will give short talks about the music, the composers, and brass instruments and playing.
