Northern Quarters

Today we enjoyed our first chamber music coaching session at the @RNCMvoice since lockdown 3.0 with Ewan Easton, principal tuba at @the_halle. Ewan also played for @briggusbb during his studies so it was great to reminisce with him about his time spent at the band.

This week we celebrated two of the quartet’s founding members, @amy_ewen and @TomSmith_cornet, on becoming @BessonLondon artists! Congrats both! 👏🏻

@JamesFountain94 @LPOrchestra 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Gabriel’s Oboe, Ennio Morricone. A throwback to Lockdown 1.0, here’s a little snippet of a recital @lucyrosemurphypiano and I were asked to do last year. @LPOrchestra #trumpet #music #gabrielsoboe #morricone #lockdown #concert #recital #brass #brassband #piano #2020throwback

Today we are celebrating Amy Ewen’s Birthday! 🎉 Amy is an incredible musician and a real driving force behind many of the quartet’s ideas! We’re so grateful to have her here at Northern Quarters! Happy Birthday, Amy! 🥰
