This versatile ensemble plays works written or arranged for trombone quartet – with typical charm and pizzazz! The opening fanfare is as bright as 410 years ago; then we journey across Europe & the Americas, with many old favourites, and with Nadia Boulanger as our guide.

Formed in 1999, Bones Apart have had an international career on tour and at Festivals in 3 continents & winning prizes; they have recorded 4 CDs. Active in education & outreach, they have given masterclasses in UK & USA.

“They communicate with passion and humour.” “A beauty of sound & musicality that are simply stunning”.
