The award winning Pure Brass is a vibrant, young and well established brass quintet that perform regularly to critical acclaim. Formed in 2006 at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, the group has quickly become a prominent ensemble within the Scottish chamber music scene. Pure Brass is part of the Live Music Now! Scheme and are past recipients of the June Emerson Launchpad Prize. The quintet are also half way through a tour which marks the end of the group’s two year Residency Project with Enterprise Music Scotland. The project has led to various mentoring sessions with internationally renowned chamber musicians, as well as a newly commissioned work by Alasdair Nicolson entitled, The Vanishing, which the group premiered at the St Magnus Festival 2011 in the breathtaking St Magnus Cathedral to a sold out audience. The ensemble have also been accepted onto the Musicians’ Company Concordia Foundation Concert season as well as the Park Lane Group which will see the quintet appear at the Wigmore Hall and in the coming months.
