City Music Foundation returns to The Wallace Collection for its 4th annual Summer Residency (22nd – 26th July). Featuring six City Music Foundation Artists, 2019 sees the residency expanded beyond the popular free lunchtime recitals to include a children’s concert, a performance for dementia sufferers, and an evening concert centered around Schubert’s ‘Trout Quintet’ with guest performer, pianist Sholto Kynoch.

2018 City Music Foundation Artist A4 Brass Quartet presents the final lunchtime recital of the week. Their programme includes many works both written and arranged by members of the Quartet, as well as the world premiere of 'The Code' by Andy Wareham, the winning entry of the Quartet's 2019 Composition Competition.

A4 Brass Quartet is comprised of principal players from two of the UK’s top brass bands, Grimethorpe Colliery Band and Foden’s. With “technical virtuosity in abundance” (Brass Band World), these four astonishing musicians come together to perform both lyrical and high-octane works, creating a distinctive and new take on chamber music.

Formed during their time at the Royal Northern College of Music, where they were the first brass group to win the coveted Christopher Rowland RNCM Chamber Ensemble of the Year prize, A4 Brass Quartet were the Royal Over-Seas League Chamber Music Competition winners in 2018. Recent engagements include the Cerseio Festival (Switzerland), Trakai Fanfare (Lithuania) and Lieksa Brass Week (Finland). They have also performed at Wigmore Hall, Purcell Room, and Bridgewater Hall. Their debut album Mists of the Mountains was released in 2016.
