Lumas Winds are committed ambassadors for wind chamber music and the rich variety of repertoire it offers. As winners of numerous prizes, regularly featuring at festivals and music clubs up and down the UK, they have firmly established themselves as a group to watch and have been described as an ‘effervescent wind quintet, lively in their performance style and enterprising in their choice of repertoire’ (Seen and Heard International).
They are currently featured young artists with the Countess of Munster Recital Scheme as well as the Kirckman Concerts Society. The latter saw them make their King’s Place debut in May 2025. Prior to this, the group were Tunnell Trust Young Artists, taking them on a tour of Scottish music clubs in February 2024; Britten Pears Young Artists, which provided them with a week-long residency in Snape Maltings, exploring various contemporary works with the Montreal based Qautuor Bozzini, as well as the performance of a newly commissioned work by composer Marcello Palazzo; and Philip and Dorothy Green Young Artists through Making Music.
The group made their Wigmore Hall debut in June 2023 with an energised performance of Lalo Schifrin’s La Nouvelle Orleans.
Lumas evolved through friendships formed at the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, with the ensemble being established in 2018. This has resulted in a strong bond between its members, carrying the group forward with confidence in its shared vision. The group presents diverse and varied programmes, framing lesser-known works alongside classics of the canon. Their concerts embrace verbal introductions which illuminate the thinking behind their fresh and eclectic approach. Their chemistry on stage was highlighted as winners of the 71st Royal Over-Seas League Mixed Ensemble Prize.
