Brass band

Rochester

Cavendish Brass are a well established trumpet quartet; we have been performing together at a variety of events since 2007. Transforming any event with a broad range of musical styles to suit any occasion, Cavendish Brass can perform incidental and ceremonial music to suit your needs. Cavendish Brass perform music at ceremonial events across the country, including university graduation ceremonies. Our work includes all incidental music for the congregation in both classical and popular styles, along with fanfares, processional and recessional music to accompany the entrance and exit of the academic party and students. We perform as an unaccompanied quartet, or with accompaniment such as organ. We are also available to perform at weddings. Cavendish Brass can provide traditional fanfares for the entry of the bride, processional music, music during the signing of the register or to welcome the congregation, and hymns (with descant fanfares if desired).

Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

We perform most frequently together as a trumpet quartet, but if there is a different line-up you would like to enquire about please don’t hesitate to ask us and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event just let us know. However, we allow for some flexibility within the day in terms of timings etc. as we know that wedding schedules can go awry!

How much time do you need to set up?

Not long at all - we play acoustically so we just need to set up 4 music stands (and chairs if appropriate) and have a room where we can warm up on our instruments.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We are happy to take on piece/song requests and work with you to ensure we can provide exactly what you would like to hear on your special day.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, we would only need 4 stands and chairs if required

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Absolutely! We are very happy to arrange a piece or song for you upon request, but would ask that you give us as much notice as possible for this, and an additional arrangement fee might apply.
