Continued success for A4 Brass Quartet
On Tuesday 20th March A4 Brass Quartet added another huge accolade to the already bulging trophy cabinet by winning the Royal Over-Seas League mixed ensembles class final. The members of A4; Jamie Smith, Jonathan Bates, Michael Cavanagh and Chris Robertson are delighted by the win. Not only do the group receive prize money of £10,000, but it is also a huge honour to be recognised by such a prestigious organisation as the Royal Overseas League. The Royal Overseas League awards four solo prizes and two ensemble awards; A4 were successful in the Ensembles B category for wind, percussion, vocal or mixed ensembles.
