Philip Jones Brass Spectacular

A celebration of brass chamber music in memory of the late, great Philip Jones CBE (1928-2000) will be held at St John's Smith Square in London next month. The event will take place on Saturday 17th February at 6.00pm and will feature a selection of the finest student brass ensembles from eight major UK colleges: Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, Guildhall School of Music, Trinity Laban (London), RNCM (Manchester), Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, RWCM&D (Cardiff) and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Presented in association with the Musicians' Company, the 'Brass Spectacular' offers the opportunity to hear many of the rising stars of brass playing. Each will celebrate the remarkable life and career of a musician who along with his wife Ursula Jones OBE supported so many young performers through initiatives such as the renowned Philip Jones Brass Ensemble Competition.
