CHANTRY WIND QUINTET
The Chantry Wind Quintet (so called because it first met in The Chantry House) was originally a wind trio (Flute, Clarinet and Bassoon). About 3 years ago it expanded to a quintet by the inclusion of Oboe and Horn players. They perform regularly at lunchtime concerts at St. Matthew’s Redhill and St Nicolas, Great Bookham. The last concert, on February 15th here was to a large audience and was very enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming them back for their next concert which will be advertised here as soon as we know the date.
