Total Brass

Total Brass is an award-winning brass quintet formed of current and past students of the Royal Academy of Music.

As well as performing countless recitals across the country, Total Brass have had many high profile performances, including opening the Gramophone Awards Ceremony in 2013, and performing at St John’s Smith Square at the Philip Jones Memorial Concert. Additionally, they have featured for two consecutive years on the BBC Radio 3: In Tune Christmas Special, as well as performing for Her Majesty the Queen at the Diamond Jubilee Celebration of the Arts Event. Having won the WCOM brass ensemble prize, the quintet were made Yeomen of the Worshipful Company of Musicians in 2012, which has led to many performances including playing on the lead float for The Lord Mayor’s Show. In addition, Total Brass have run numerous education and outreach projects through the company, both as a group and individuals, in schools across London.
