      AROHA in association with CMNZ proudly present: ACE Brass

      If you have been fortunate enough to have heard this trio play, you know they give a dynamic and entertaining performance not to be missed. Energetic, visually intriguing playing a wide range of composers; treat yourself to brass as surprising as it is entertaining.
