Trumpet
Fraser Tannock loves performing new music and exploring new trumpet repertoire. Alongside Riot Ensemble projects, he has given concerts with contemporary groups Crash Ensemble in Ireland, Remix Ensemble in Portugal, and performed many new solo trumpet works. A winner of the Royal Overseas League Commonwealth Competition and the Philip Jones Prize, he has given solo recitals at QEH, Purcell Room, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, St. James' Piccadilly and the Palace of Versailles. Performances of Bach's 2nd Brandenburg Concerto have taken him to London, USA, France, Spain and Colombia, and his recording of Leopold Mozart's Concerto in D was Classic fm's recording of the week. He has worked as guest principal with London Chamber Orchestra, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, ENO, London Concert Orchestra, and with orchestras in Singapore, Portugal, France and Germany.
Also passionate about historical performance, he has toured with Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, Prince Regent's Band and The Corporation of Musick, with concerts at BBC Proms, Aldeburgh Festival, and live on BBC Radio 3. In theatre, he has worked at Royal National Theatre (as MD), RSC, Shakespeare’s Globe, on many West End musicals, and Sondheim's 'Old Friends' for BBC2. He often records for film and TV, is trumpeter for indie band Belle and Sebastian, and has played festivals from Glastonbury to the Seychelles.
