Concert Band

The Concert Band is a unique arena that brings together upwards of forty talented musicians, who together produce a sophisticated musical performance. With this wealth of talent we are able to play music from a comprehensive repertoire varying from Johan Sebastian Bach to John Williams and Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov to Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.

The Band of The Coldstream Guards regularly appears in concerts around the UK and in recent years has experience successful tours of Japan and Australia.

Closer to home the Concert band performs with the likes of the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in “Classical Spectaculars” at the Royal Albert Hall, Choral Societies and top Brass Bands. Regular TV and Radio performances help to maintain the Band’s high profile.

The Band of the Coldstream Guards is fully acquainted with the demands of formal etiquette whether playing for Heads of State, Service Chiefs or similar occasions in the Service or Civil Community.

There is arguably no better advertisement for a regiments colour and tradition than a Military marching Band. What better arena for this ensemble to be a fully promoted than the Pomp of Buckingham Palace where the Marching Band of the Coldstream Guards performs regularly.Its not just about changing the Guard ; it’s also about large Military extravaganzas, Tattoos and gripping musical climaxes to any corporate event. The Marching band caters for all of these.

The Marching Band of the Coldstream Guards has provided support to some of the biggest and widely covered events around the globe:

• North American Tour.
• Royal Tournament.
• The Edinburgh International Military Tattoo.
• Sydney Tattoo.
• Wembley Stadium- International and domestic football.
• Many corporate events in some of the UK’s key location.

The ensemble houses many of the bands, if not all, musical permutations. Strings, Brass, Woodwind, and Percussion combine to produce yet another unique brand of music. Because the Orchestra encompasses all the instruments the repertoire available is comprehensive: Concert Marches, Musicals and Popular Dances are the mainstay to this ensembles portfolio.

The Function Band is a 10 strong line-up which will deliver a night to remember at every type of social occasion. Be it a Diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace , a Ball at the Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane , London right through to birthdays, weddings and anniversaries in marquees. The Band plays covers of popular music from the 70's to the present day, including an entire Blues Brothers set, James Brown, Madness, Tom Jones, Van Morrisson, Robbie Williams and many more. The unique blend of characters and talent within the Band ensure an audience is never knowingly undersold!

Adding subtlety and ambiance to the more formal functions, they are adapt at blending into the background whilst delivering colour and style fit for all .

It could be a Royal Wedding, the opening of a Royal Gala Performance or even the beginning of a major Sporting Event. However the grand occasion seems to be, a Fanfare Team in full chorus will seldom surpassed.

Used independently or in conjunction with other musical ensembles e.g. Orchestra, Band, Organ or Choir, it’s flexibility is it’s strength. From a solo Trumpeter performing Last Post right through to a team of twelve accompanied by an impressive array of percussion, the impact is breathtaking.

Woodwind Quintet

Formed in 2001 the Wind Quintet is becoming an ever more popular choice of ensemble. Nulli Wind presents many advantages over other groups in that as well as being suitable for large events, the nature of the instruments involved make it perfect for the smaller venues. The Wind quintet covers music from all genres but is particularly well endowed with works by the great classical composers. A truly unique combination that has all the class and delicacy of a string quartet but also the power and lighter side of a brass group. Nulli Wind has performed at international conferences, mess nights, weddings etc.
