Premier Brass are one of the leading brass quintets in the South East of England. They perform a wide ranging repertoire of music from the Baroque music of Bach and Handel to the more popular music of Gershwin the Beatles and Queen with all styles in between.
Premier Brass are available for a wide variety of events from more formal recitals concerts music festivals and wedding ceremonies to background music for business luncheons dinners (including military mess dinners, mess dress can be worn for these functions), garden parties, receptions and product launches.
Premier Brass always try to accommodate any particular musical requests and having a professional arranger in the group means they are often able to arrange specific pieces of music for that special occasion.
WEDDING MUSIC BY PREMIER BRASS
The Ceremony
Whether in a church or at another venue Premier Brass can play fanfares and processional music for the arrival and entry of the bride. Many couples prefer well-known traditional pieces such as the Trumpet Voluntary, but they can play any specific pieces you may prefer. They will provide the accompaniment to your hymns, and also any music you may choose whilst you sign the register. At the end of your ceremony Premier Brass can play your choice of music for the exit of the bride and groom, followed by your guests. Again traditional music such as The Wedding March by Mendelssohn is very popular, but you may have your own ideas. If you are not sure what you might like they will be very happy to discuss repertoire with you. Premier Brass can also provide arrangements for any special piece of music.
If you think that a full brass quintet is not for you, Premier Brass can also supply you a solo trumpeter, brass duo, trio or quartet performing the music of your choice for your ceremony.
After The Ceremony
Premier Brass can play for your guests during your reception whether it be an informal drinks reception or a formal sit down dinner. They have an extensive repertoire list and can cater for all musical tastes and styles. They can provide for any musical requests that you may have.
Corporate Entertainment from Premier Brass
Premier Brass can supply a fanfare team for all occasions. Whether it is an awards ceremony, banquet or product launch our musicians can enhance your event and add to that ceremonial occasion. Our fanfare team can number two, three or four musicians and can appear in military dress, Dinner Jackets, or period costume. They can also provide lone trumpeters for Last Post and Reveille.
Premier Brass have provided the music for many corporate events including receptions, ground breaking ceremonies and product launches. Premier Brass can perform as a static group or as strolling players.
They have an extensive repertoire to suit all occasions and they can also provide a fanfare for an additional flourish to your event. They perform indoors and outdoors and have there own lighting for candle lit events.
