These pieces present an exciting collection of brass music drawn from the vibrant contemporary music scene in Portugual. Some of the pieces contain elements of the jazz vocabulary whilst other explore a wide palette of sounds and textures and much that is virtuosic both in composition and performance.

Royal Scottish Academy Brass is a brass ensemble of flexible size comprising senior members of the brass faculty at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. All the players in the quintet, led by international trumpet soloist and RSAMD Principal, John Wallace, are distinguished soloists and orchestral musicians who occupy principal chairs in the Royal Scottish National, BBC Scottish Symphony and Ulster Orchestras, as well as being active as chamber musicians in a variety of groups such as the Paragon and Hebrides Ensembles.
