Since then the quintet has appeared regularly in performances both at the Academy and beyond. In August 2008 as part of the BBC Proms they gave the UK première of Anders Hillborg's Six Pieces for Wind Quintet, which was broadcast later on BBC Radio 3. In December 2008 the quintet performed for the Princess Royal, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Sir Harrison Birtwistle. In May 2009, they gave two performances at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival. The Quintet were recently appointed Leverhulme Junior Chamber Music Fellows at the Royal Academy of Music, and were awarded the Martin Musical Scholarship in May 2009.
Future performances include recitals at the Royal Overseas League House, the Purcell Room and Wigmore Hall.
