Harlequin Brass on the WWW

Harlequin Brass are now on the world wide interweb...

Harlequin
 

Acclaimed brass ensemble Harlequin Brass launch their new look website featuring all new images of the group, and detailed information about the history, culture and repertoire of this award winning brass ensemble

New look

As the group is now in it's 15th year and has gained a reputation for musical excellence around the country and across into Europe, it felt that the website needed to reflect this image more closley with a new stylish look and feel.

There are links to videos and audio tracks of Harlequin Brass along with full details of where the group is performing in the near future (and where they've been in the past!)
