ANOTHER DATE FOR YOUR DIARY! The NYBBGB is delighted to announce that our Youth Band 2025 Summer Concert, titled “Celebration”, will première globally on YouTube at 7:30pm BST on Friday 19 September 2025.
Filmed live at the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall, Royal College of Music, London, the concert showcases the extraordinary talent of over 90 of the UK’s finest young brass and percussion musicians, performing under the baton of internationally renowned conductor Martyn Brabbins.
This year’s programme is a powerful blend of tradition and innovation, including the world première of ‘Shapeshifter’, a bold and emotionally charged new commission by award-winning British composer Daniel Hall, exploring identity, transformation and resilience. Also featured are three world premières by winners of the 2025 NYBBGB Young Composers’ Competition:
‘Variations on an Enclosure’ by Will Everitt
‘Betws-y-Coed’ by Nina Martin
‘Nocturnal Dances’ by Samuel Thackray
The concert also includes performances of landmark brass works such as Herbert Howells’ ‘Pageantry’ and Elgar Howarth’s striking arrangement of Mussorgsky’s ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’, alongside Edward Gregson’s ‘Tenor Horn Concerto (Three Gods)’ and ‘Dansul Focului’ by Stijn Aertgeerts – both featuring the brilliant soloist Tim De Maeseneer.
