The members of Lumas Winds are committed ambassadors for wind chamber music and the wide variety of repertoire it offers. As winners of the 71st Royal Over-Seas League Mixed Ensemble Prize, and regularly featuring at festivals and music clubs up and down the UK, they have earned a reputation as dynamic and engaging concert hosts, and are praised for being an “effervescent wind quintet, lively in their performance style and enterprising in their choice of repertoire” (Seen and Heard International).

The ensemble’s high-octane programme for Paxton is packed with a sparkling mix of lively mid-20th-century pieces, contrasting with the calm beauty and elegance of works by Bach and Holst.

Tickets: £25 (concessions £15). Free tickets for under 26s.

OFFER: £2 off full price for Amyas Ensemble afternoon concert when booked together.
