Ailsa Russell (Tenor Horn), Joel Collier (Baritone), Glyn Williams (Euphonium), Stephen Sykes (Trombone), Kate James (Eb Tuba) and Steve Jones (Kit).
Tom Hutchinson, Principal Cornet and Besson artist, commented, “Being part of Cory Brass Ensemble has been an exciting development to be part of so far. We’ve crafted some fresh and traditional repertoire and captured its magic in a truly stunning promotional video. Get ready to experience Cory Band like never before in a variety of venues across the country and beyond!”
Neil Blockley, Cory Band Manager, explained “We’ve long recognised the demand for smaller-scale Cory performances. Now, we’re thrilled to present our official ensemble featuring key players from the full band. This allows us to share the legendary Cory name and unparalleled quality with a wider range of audiences and venues.” The group is available for concerts, masterclasses, and workshops across the UK and Europe.
