ABOUT THE PERFORMERS

Formed in October 2022 when all five members began their studies at the Royal Academy of Music, Fiveby5 Trumpet Quintet began as an exploration of what a trumpet quintet could achieve in serious chamber music.

Three years on, the ensemble has become a defining part of each member’s artistry, driving their shared mission to innovate within brass chamber music. Programming original music, new arrangements, and repertoire from their Swedish, Ukrainian, and UK roots, Fiveby5 have performed extensively in the UK and abroad.

Key performances include the Philip Jones Brass Spectacular at Sinfonia Smith Square (February 2024), their international debut in Stockholm (April 2024), and residency tours at Ferrandou Musique in France in both 2024 and 2025. FiveBy5 were awarded 2nd place in the Musicians’ Company Brass Ensemble Prize in 2023 and 2024, and 1st place in 2025.

FiveBy5 are dedicated to expanding the original repertoire for trumpet quintets and have premiered two new works by Royal Academy of Music composer Archie John, and recently they received a new commission from Britta Byström funded by Radio Sweden.
