One of the keys to the success of the Illuminati Wind Quartet has been the enthusiastic way in which the Glasgow-based ensemble has uncovered lesser known recent repertoire for wind and programmed it alongside more established music. The Illuminati Wind Quartet commissioned A Box of Chatter from Rory Boyle in 2009. Frank Bridge started his entertaining suite in 1934 as two duets for flute and oboe, but later expanded them into a quartet. Supported by an anonymous donor
