About The British National Trumpet Ensemble
The British Trumpet Ensemble is a Manchester-based chamber trumpet ensemble consisting of six professional trumpeters. Our passion for contemporary music has led us to perform at various events, including forming their own recitals, participating in contemporary music and brass festivals, trumpet and chamber competitions, churches, and even royal occasions. We also participate in one charity event per year. Our journey started with a common goal, to showcase our skills and bring joy to audiences all over the UK and internationally. We are committed to providing exceptional and thorough music, and creating unforgettable memories for our clients and audiences.
We value professionalism, creativity, hard work, and originality. Our ensemble stands out from the crowd due to our unique approach to contemporary music and our ability to connect with our audience, and connecting with the music we perform. Take a look at our photo gallery and videos to get a glimpse of our performances. We are excited to continue to share our story and journey with you and hope to work together soon.
