DJM@Aarhus Festuge: Mateusz Woch Quintet

The academy presents a short row of classical concerts in Ridehuset in cooperation with Aarhus Festuge.

The Jyske Brass Quintet is a newly formed professional brass quintet based in Aarhus, founded by five master’s students at the Royal Academy of Music, each from a different European country: Spain, Poland, Norway, and Portugal.

The ensemble has built its artistic identity around this diversity. Its concert programmes are conceived as cultural portraits — exploring sacred music, national traditions, and the dialogue between European voices — and tonight’s performance marks the quintet’s first major public appearance.

Members
Mateusz Woch — Trumpet
Gonçalo Mota — Trumpet
Tomas Prada — Horn
Thomas Håkestad — Trombone
Victor Pàfila Clua — Tuba

Program:
Enrique Crespo (b. 1941): Suite Americana

Vagn Holmboe (1909–1996): Brass Quintet, Op. 79
Composed for the New York Brass Quintet, one of the ensembles that established the modern brass quintet repertoire.
