We work with some of the best brass band tutors in the world, as well as other leading educationalists
Our inspirational courses support the development of new friendships with amongst young people with a shared love of music
We perform some of the traditional pieces whilst we also challenge and extend what we can play and so commission new pieces from leading composers
We aim to be a diverse and inclusive organisation. We keep costs for participation low and provide financial and pastoral support for those who need it
As we benefit from generous grants from Arts Council England and the Department for Education, this helps us create inspirational courses and provide world-class educational and performance opportunities.
With help from our Friends Scheme and one-off or regular donations we can help deliver these life-long memories to the talented brass and percussionists of the future.
