Lunchtime Recital - Cavendish Winds

Presented by the Royal Academy of Music.

Cavendish Winds comprises of five London-based musicians studying at the Royal Academy of Music. They are graduates from various prestigious institutions including Oxford, Kings College London, the University of Manchester and the Royal Northern College of Music. In the ensemble’s relatively short life, they have performed both inside and outside of London and have been invited to Etchingham’s Music Festival this summer in collaboration with pianist Florian Mitrea.

Whilst the group was formed in 2014, members have been playing with each other in various ensembles for several years. Before joining the Academy, four of the members were appointed section principals in the National Youth Chamber Orchestra, whilst a fifth served in the Royal Marines Band Service.

Outside of the quintet members are developing successful individual careers, between them performing as soloists and in orchestras throughout Europe such as the BBC Philharmonic, Royal Northern Sinfonia, Constella Ballet Orchestra, Westminster Opera Company and the Irish Chamber Orchestra as well as in West End shows and Jazz ensembles.

Cavendish has been coached by Angela Malsbury and enjoy ceilidh dancing together in their spare time.
