Performance.

Since Cobalt’s formation in 2015, we have presented our unique style of chamber music in concerts, competitions and recital series all across the United Kingdom.

As a group, we absolutely love exploring different musical styles and genres, and enjoy showing our audiences the rich palette of colour that can be achieved from the brass quintet medium.

Education.

Alongside our busy schedule of performances, Cobalt Brass also enjoys presenting concerts, interactive assemblies and workshops that can be tailored to suit a range of ages and abilities.

Over the past few years, we have seen ourselves the transformative effects that music can have on the development of younger minds, and are extremely passionate about helping to inspire the next generation of musicians.

Testimonials

"Cobalt Brass were amazing, not only are they super-talented players, they also had a really lovely rapport with the children. We all enjoyed every minute and the children learnt stacks into the bargain."

J. Parker-Wade

Teacher

"We have just had the pleasure of hearing the Cobalt Brass Quintet perform this morning. I have to say that it was simply BRILLIANT! We were impressed at how the group explained how their individual instruments worked and what tunes could be played. Of course, we loved the songs and it was good for me, as music leader, to see our children joining in."

R. Anderson

Primary Music Leader

"Thanks for the excellent concert that our children experienced this afternoon! The quality of music and the interaction with children was excellent. The children loved it and it provided them with a real ‘wow’ experience."

J. Stephenson

Headteacher

"Not only was the musicianship excellent, but the concert was age-appropriate, engaging and very well planned. The children were buzzing afterwards. These sorts of events are so important in motivating children to engage with music and arts and this is something myself and so many of the staff at the school are passionate about."

Innovation.

As a group of musicians that are constantly exploring the expressive potential of their ensemble, we are always looking for ways in which we can create something new.

Through teaming up with guest artists (Josh Savage, Cara Houghton, Oystercatcher…) and collaborating with innovative composers (Jonathan Bates, Matt Eden, James Keirle, Illy Quane/Lance Dangerfield…), our creative projects are all about testing the boundaries of ‘traditional’ chamber music.
