About

The origins of Cavendish Brass stem from a well established trumpet quartet who have performed together at a variety of events since 2007. Transforming any event with a broad range of musical styles to suit any occasion, Cavendish Brass perform incidental and ceremonial music to suit your needs, as well as providing entertainment at any event.

Ceremonial Events

The Cavendish Brass Fanfare Team specialises in performing music for ceremonial events across the country, such as university graduation ceremonies. Our work can include 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 ensemble, or with organ accompaniment.

Weddings

Cavendish Brass can provide music to celebrate your whole wedding day, from 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). We can provide everything from solo musicians to larger ensembles for your ceremony, then transition smoothly with music to entertain your guests for the rest of your day, in a broad range of styles covering everything from classical and jazz through to pop / funk / hip hop etc.

Customised Music

Cavendish Brass are happy to compose or arrange music especially for your occasion so please let us know if you have any special requests for your event.

In 2024 we launched the Cavendish Brass Agency, expanding our services to provide brass players and ensembles to suit your needs. We can provide anything from solo performers to any combination of players to provide an ensemble of your choosing, to suit your event.

Clients can now choose from our versatile offerings, selecting from our original Trumpet Fanfare Team or opting to include lower brass instruments for a brass trio, quartet, quintet, or larger ensemble, delivering a fuller, more dynamic sound.

We offer a wide range of musical styles and genres, from classical and traditional pieces to jazz, pop, and beyond, tailored to suit your event.

With a core group of talented musicians, we collaborate with top-tier performers to customise our ensemble and deliver the exact repertoire you desire.
