“At our core we are a wind quintet, and our work varies from formal recitals and concert appearances to education and community work with children of all ages and everything in between,” said a spokesman.

“This concert builds on the outstanding concert by the Horns of Opera North last year,” said the concert society chairman Roger Higson.

“It brings together five young dynamic wind players to explore the range and beauty of their instruments in the setting of the Catherdal with works by Bach, Mozart, Debussy, Messiaen Britten and Barber and Waley Cohen”.
