Our Administrator and Principal Trombone @SimonTalbot76 sent this recently. "The Glissening" for 8-part trombone choir. Some fabulous sounds and superb playing.

It was a spectacular concert and brought rave reviews from the Paderborn audience and press. We can't believe that it was 30 years ago.

[Nigel M Taylor @nigelmtaylor]

30 years ago today - 3rd April 1991 - @CorusBrass gave its 1st concert in the Paderhalle, #Paderborn, Germany.
Here's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" Strauss arr. MJ Lyons from that concert - a version that we loved playing. Sorry for the video quality.

A super recording from a "few" years ago. One of our favourites. Three members in the photo (and who played in this recording) are still in the ensemble! The rest moved on to other things except for the late, great Michael Wildgust (principal trumpet) who died tragically young.

[Nigel M Taylor @nigelmtaylor]

It seemed appropriate to post this today.
"My Funny Valentine"
arranged by Michael J Lyons
performed by @CorusBrass

Happy 250th birthday, Ludwig van Beethoven! #Beethoven250

[Fieldings Porter @FieldingsPorter]

While very sad that we won’t be able to have our annual Christmas charity carol concert this year here’s an offering from @CorusBrass who played with us last year https://t.co/Txr9zjwR8i

We're looking forward to welcoming them back to @StPeterBolton in 2021.

A wonderful video to keep us going until we can sing again with @CorusBrass

[Nigel M Taylor @nigelmtaylor]

For the first time in 35 years @CorusBrass is not playing live during the festive season. So here is this year's Christmas greeting, courtesy of youtube!

@nigelmtaylor @CorusBrass This is excellent. We're looking forward to welcoming @CorusBrass back to @StPeterBolton in 2021.

[Corus Brass Ensemble @CorusBrass]

We've missed playing live this Christmas, for the first time in 35 years. But here's our rendition of Carol of the Bells arranged by our own John Parkinson.
Hope you enjoy it!

[Corus Brass Ensemble @CorusBrass]

This is great! We can't wait to perform here again in 2021.

[Chris Bracegirdle @BreweyChris]

Bolton Parish Church as you've never seen it before!

We were sad to have cancelled the concert. Equally sad that the Cote Rotie couldn't be shared with ALL of us.....🤣

[Nigel M Taylor @nigelmtaylor]

Tonight should have seen a concert by @CorusBrass & @BMSSingers at Bolton Parish Church. @StPeterBolton A great pity we had to cancel it. Instead I shall go to my social bubble, to cook them duck, with port/redcurrant sauce. We’ll open and drink this 2007 beauty to go with it.

[Trust Music @trustmusic_org]

At Trust Music we love #ukuleles! Despite the #lockdown, our 2 groups have continued to play and have a natter together over Zoom every week. Stay safe and spread the #ukulelelove 😍🎶

Great to hear @pete_moore_ and others speaking about the decision making process.

[BBC Young Musician @BBCYoungMus]

*Spoiler alert!* (Don't look at this if you don't already know who wins the Brass Category Final).

Such talent and brilliance tonight from our musicians, but what blew the judges away about tonight's performances?

#BBCYoungMusician

[Corus Brass Ensemble @CorusBrass]

Fantastic performances from all 5 brass finalists. And a very worthy winner.

[BBC Young Musician @BBCYoungMus]

However, we believe that we had to show strong leadership and to make an early contribution to protecting our more vulnerable citizens by social distancing at this difficult stage for everyone.

Details of ticket refunds will be available on the trybooking website shortly /3

[Corus Brass Ensemble @CorusBrass]

Following careful analysis of current evidence relating to the coronavirus pandemic along with consultation with the Vicar of Bolton and others, we have decided to postpone the concert that was scheduled to be given at Bolton Parish Church on Saturday 28 March at 6pm /1

[Corus Brass Ensemble @CorusBrass]

by Corus Brass Ensemble and their guests The BMS Singers.

It is regrettable that we have had to take this decision, especially as the event was to have been our 35th birthday concert and the first as Ensemble in Residence at the church. /2
