Wind Quintet for next Music Society concert

On Saturday, February 15th, the prize-winning Marylebone Wind Quintet will be giving a lunch-time concert in Brodick Hall, starting at 1.30 pm. This brilliant group of young players won the coveted Tunnell Trust award for the current year, and Arran is privileged to be included in the Music Societies selected for their all-Scotland tour.

The classical group features five distinguished players, each one of whom is making a mark in the professional music world. Dominic Tyler (bassoon), Max Welford (clarinet), Tom Wood (horn), Fraser MacAulay (oboe) and David Ruff (flute) will be playing in the Arran concert, and each of them has a distinguished history of study at leading music colleges and current inclusion in outstanding orchestras including the London Sinfonietta. All of them are in high demand and we are fortunate indeed to be able to welcome them on Arran.

Their programme will include Malcolm Arnold’s Three Shanties for Wind Quintet, Jean- Michel Damase’s Dix-Sept Variations, the Danzi quintet in G minor and a w ind quintet arrangement of Ravel’s Tombeau De Couperin.

Tickets at £10 (including lucky prize draw programme and tea or coffee) can be bought at the door or from Inspirations, just across the road from Brodick Hall, or online from www.arranevents.com.
