Do the brass really have the most fun?

What makes a typical brass player? What really happens on a ‘viola night’? Can the saxophone truly be considered a brass instrument? And just how do you clean a tuba? YolanDa, Lee and Claudia dive into the world of brass, weighing the pros and cons of being part of the brass section and comparing it to the rest of the orchestra. They share favourite brass moments, discuss the sometimes notorious reputation of brass players, and attempt to pinpoint the characteristics that make brass players unique. Plus, in the quiz, Lee and Claudia take a shot at guessing the collective noun for a group of brass players… Any guesses? #PitchMeClassical Instagram: @londonphilharmonicorchestra TikTok: @lporchestra Bluesky: @lporchestra Facebook: @londonphilharmonicorchestra YouTube: @londonphilharmonicorchestra Hosted on Acast.
