CSO brass return to Albert Hall in spring for another Best of Brass, with music from the Medieval period to the current day. 

We open with a captivating arrangement of the overture to Mozart’s popular two-act opera, The Magic Flute. The program also features highly virtuosic brass quintets from Russian civil engineer and composer Victor Ewald and the eclectic English composer Sir Malcolm Arnold. 

Our ensemble will also give a rare performance of two exquisite motets from Raphaela Aleotta, a late-Renaissance organist, composer and Augustinian nun. We close with one of the best-loved ballads of the twentieth century: Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’.
