The Bute Wind Quintet is a multi-award winning ensemble, whose mission is to promote contemporary and underperformed chamber music. Recent recitals include the Beaumaris Festival, Cowbridge Music Festival and the Fishguard Music Festival. The group have notably performed for the Royal Society of Musicians, the University of South Wales Graduation Ceremonies, and the International Malcolm Arnold Festival.
The quintet are two-time winners of the June Emerson Wind Music Ensemble Launchpad Prize and have held a two year Artists Residency at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre. The group have given recitals for the Cwmdu Music Concert Series and Concerts at the Crossroads Recital Series.
Individually, Gabriella Alberti flute, Sam Willsmore oboe, Hannah Harding bassoon, Nathan Barker French horn and Meg Davies clarinet have all freelanced with professional orchestras such as the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and Welsh National Opera, and bassoonist Hannah Harding has joined Sinfonia Smith Square (formerly Southbank Sinfonia) for their 2024/2025 season.
