Surrey Brass Members
Surrey Brass is fortunate to have a stable and loyal player roster, forming the core membership of the ensemble. Several of our players are Founder Members, having been with the ensemble since its origin in 2001. Over the years many other players have worked with us for varying periods (youngest was 11, oldest 90!) and we are proud to count them as our Deputies and Alumni. Core membership (as of September 2023) is shown below. Where links are available, click on player names to view biographical details and photos.

Alumni
Surrey Brass is proud to have many Alumni.
We do hope everyone enjoyed playing with us and hope all our players remain in touch, especially if you are inadvertently missed off the list.

Deputies
We remain grateful to our many deputies who often help out at short notice at rehearsals and concerts. Our deputies are critical to enable us to increase forces whenever we perform music for large ensemble.
