The Silver Keys Clarinet Quartet
“The sound was gorgeous. I loved the performance of Oblivion. The harmonies the four of you produce had the hair on my arms standing on end. Closing off with your arrangement of The Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond was beautifully delivered and very appropriate for the end of the round the world tour."
"Their programming is varied and aimed at a wide range of audience... they tailor their repertoire well to suit all tastes and ages. Overall, they are a very professional ensemble who cater for a broad range of listener with informative and exciting performances."
