Returning for a third consecutive year, Brass Collective bring some classics, jazz, and more to the Conservatory Hall at North-West University in October 2023. Showcasing the flexibility of the brass quintet as an ensemble, this programme has been curated to offer an accessible programme featuring a variety of musical styles.
As champions of South African brass music, Brass Collective will give the World Premiere, composed especially for this concert, by NWU Senior Lecturer in African Music, Cara Stacey. It will feature alongside the highly regarded Brass Quintet composition by the late British/South African composer, Allan Stephenson.
Fostering the rewarding collaboration in 2022, this year’s performance will again feature a large ensemble finale, with the NWU brass students joining Brass Collective for Chris Hazell’s enjoyable ‘Three Brass Cats’.

Terug vir ‘n derde agtereenvolgende jaar, bring Brass Collective ‘n paar klassieke treffers, jazz en meer na die Konserwatorium by die Noordwes -Universiteit in Oktober 2023.
Dis nog ‘n gulde geleentheid om die veelsydigheid van die koperblaaskwintet bekend te stel. Die program is saamgestel met toeganklikheid in gedagte, met ‘n wye reeks musikale style.
As voorlopers van Suid-Afrikaanse koperblaasmusiek, speel Brass Collective die wêreldpremiere van ‘n nuwe werk deur komponis en Seniordosent in Afrikamusiek by NWU, Cara Stacey, wat spesifiek vir hierdie optrede gekomponeer is. Dit word ten toon gestel met die hoogsaangeskrewe koperblaaskwintetkomposisie van die ontslape Brits/Suid-Afrikaanse komponis, Allan Stephenson.
Na die suksesvolle samewerking in 2022 , sal hierdie jaar se konsert weereens ‘n groot ensemble finale insluit met NWU koperblaasstudente wat by Brass Collective aansluit vir Chris Hazell se genotvolle “Three Cats”.
