Musician Biographies

CANZONA BRASS QUINTET was formed in 2017 when its leader, Tony Waller, was approached by The Open University to provide a quintet for graduation ceremonies in the south of England. Their repertoire includes most genres of music, from Monterverdi to Abba with pieces for all to enjoy. The members have worked with many of the UK's top orchestras including the London Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, BBC Big Band, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, and even the Syd Lawrence Orchestra.

CANZONA BRASS QUINTET performs regularly: staging their own concerts, supporting choral societies, raising money and awareness for a variety of causes and taking part in education outreach.
