New works

The group has commissioned leading Spanish composers Juanjo Colomer and Pascual Vilaplanato to write new works for euphonium and brass quintet.

Steve told 4BR: "I'm delighted to be able to perform with Spanish Brass, who are regarded as one of the finest brass quintets in Europe at present. The chance to perform new works from substantial composers is also something I'm looking forward too. It's a real honoured to be involved with musicians with such international reputations."
