The Wallace Collection presents music by the great master Haydn, stealing music originally for strings in exciting new arrangements. The 19th century horn player, military music director and composer Mimart is a recent discovery and his work shows the fascinating beginnings of chamber music for brass instruments.
The Wallace Collection was launched by John Wallace in two concerts at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, in 1986, with an eclectic mix of old and new in both instrumentation and repertoire. The ensemble has appeared regularly at the Edinburgh and other international Festivals and toured widely through Europe, Russia, North and South America, Australasia, Africa and Asia.
