The original CU Brass Ensemble (CUBE) was founded in 1984. It flourished for many years, marking its 20thanniversary in 2004 with a spectacular concert for massed brass in King’s College Chapel given by past and present members. The ensemble lapsed a while later, but was re-founded last academic year as part of the Instrumental Awards Scheme (IAS), the first time the lowly trombone and tuba have been included in the scheme, following on from the only-recent addition of the trumpet in 2014. The ensemble is coached by Christopher Lawrence, the original founder of CUBE.

CB4 Trombone Ensemble

CB4 (Cambridge ‘Bones Quartet)is one of Cambridge's hardest working trombone quartets.The players are drawn from orchestras and ensembles in the Cambridge area, and various combinations have been playing together for over twenty years. In descending order of altitude, the players are:


Phil Cambridge has for over 20 years been principal trombone of the Kensington Symphony Orchestra, and regularly plays with many other orchestras and ensembles in London and Cambridge. In 2014 he won the national award for non-professional musicians: ‘Office Musician of the Year’.
Neil George has played with ensembles in East Anglia for over 25 years in both the classical and jazz fields and currently performs with the East Anglian Chamber Orchestra, Sinfonia of Cambridge and Prime Brass.
David Taine has played in a variety of leading orchestras and ensembles in Australia and New Zealand. Soon after arriving in the UK he played with the Kensington Symphony Orchestra before moving to Cambridgeshire and has now played with the City of Cambridge Symphony Orchestra for almost 20 years.
David Musgrove has played bass trombone in several of the finest non-professional London orchestras, including over 10 years with Kensington Symphony Orchestra; and until a recent move to this area he played with Surrey Brass.
