London Mozart Players Brass Ensemble

  Windy brass!
Founded by Harry Blech in 1949 as the UK's first chamber orchestra, the London Mozart Players (LMP) is regarded as one of the finest ensembles, bringing together outstanding musicians from the UK and abroad to perform music of the highest quality.
Internationally renowned for its live performances and CD recordings and particularly known for its definitive performances of the core Classical repertoire, it also has an innovative approach to music-making and gives many world premières, especially of British composers. The LMP Brass Ensemble gave its first concert in Chiswick in 2003 and has since performed two tours as part of the orchestra's residency in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, and two performances for Thames Concerts in Kingston-upon-Thames. The LMP has developed an extensive and highly regarded education, community and audience development programme and as part of this the brass ensemble will be working with students from The Yehudi Menuhin School in composition and performance workshops as part of their GCSE coursework. The ensemble made its first CD in 2006 featuring original music by Mozart, Beethoven and contemporary British composers. The group is flexible, ranging from trio through to full orchestral brass and has a varied repertoire, covering a range of periods and styles, providing a programme of music that is substantial, lively and energetic!
