Performers

Connaught Brass

Ripon Concerts is delighted to welcome one of London's most exciting ensembles, Connaught Brass, to open its 2026/27 season with a bang. This outstanding quintet will bring a fresh and brilliant energy to a varied programme exploring the rich musical worlds of France and the Americas — from Rameau and Ravel to Florence Price, Piazzolla, and Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.

'Technically astonishing, eclectic in repertoire, and prepared to explode clichés of what brass chamber music should sound like.' The Arts Desk
