If you are looking for a group that is all things double reed, then look no further than this group!

We were established in 2013, and welcome players of the oboe and bassoon with their unique and special sound. Our group of oboists and bassoonists learn all types of music. We are not only known for playing beautiful classical music, but have also had some memorable performances of pop (Teenage Dirtbag), TV (The Muppet Show), film classics (Disney Fantasia) and jazz (Pink Panther). We have played in some amazing spaces – Sheffield City Hall, The Octagon and Victoria Hall with our favourite being the Birmingham City Hall. We have taken part in some great music festivals too, like Music for Youth and have had enjoyable trips to music colleges like the Birmingham Conservatoire.

As a small, friendly group, we will help you to build your confidence to play solos as well as encourage you to play better together. There are also opportunities to try other rare double reed instruments like the ‘cor anglais’ and ‘contra bassoon’.
