SATURDAYS AT NOON – QUARTZ
July 12 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The aptly-named QUARTZ are a group comprising piano, brass and vocals, based in Shropshire.
Quartz is a truly unique ensemble, blending the soulful voice and piano playing of our singer with the mellow sounds of three brass instruments. This combination of vocals, piano and brass is rarely see in modern music – our arrangements breathe relaxing new life into easy listening songs by intertwining the warmth of the voice and piano with the rich dynamic tones of brass instruments, creating a refreshing and unexpected fusion.
We’re made up of two husband and wife couples, and we’ve played together for many many years.
The quartet consists of Annette as singer and pianist, along with Paul, Tracey and Warren on brass.
We have the beautiful, mellow and soulful voice of Annette, who is a professional vocal coach and pianist. Her husband, Warren (trombone player) is a published composer and writes all the arrangements specifically for our line-up.
Paul (cornet, trumpet) and wife, Tracey (flugel horn) are the other half that make up Quartz. Both have achieved success performing at the highest level with some of the country’s premier brass ensembles. Paul plays for the world number one ranking brass band Foden’s, of which Tracey is also a part.
Quartz is a totally unique group. Our arrangements are specifically written by us for us, and that’s what makes us extra special. If you want beautiful ambient music to enhance your event, then Quartz is perfect.
