Over the coming months the world of brass band competitions reaches its climax with a number of fantastic championships.

Alongside of the chance to see some of the best brass bands in the country, you will also have the opportunity to see and try some of Yamaha’s superb brass instruments.

Starting with Brass in the Park on the 30th August in Midlothian, you will have the opportunity to see Russell Gray who will be conducting workshops and performing as well as adjudicating the main contest.

On the 13th September, the world’s oldest and most prestigious brass band festival takes place at Symphony Hall, Birmingham. The 156th British Open Brass Band Championship promises to be as intense as ever with all the elite names in the contesting field.

The 27th and 28th of September sees the National Lower Section Finals take place at the International Conference Centre, Harrogate and on the 11th October, The National Brass Band Championships take place at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Finally, after a busy two months, we will be at the Brass Band in Concert Championship at the Sage in Gateshead on the 15th November. With master classes from Simone Rebello and Sheona White this will be a very exciting and informative event.

We look forward to seeing you there!
