In addition to performing the standard brass quintet repertoire, Alba Brass have commissioned much new work that includes vocal, jazz and folk elements. Their concert programmes are often genre-bending, juxtaposing old and new; traditional and contemporary; as well as fun and serious.
The group are frequently recorded for the BBC’s ‘Songs of Praise’. Read reviews of the ensemble here.
In August 2017 the quintet released their debut album Fair Peched, available from iTunes, Spotify or CD Baby.
