Putting quality brass music front and centre
Some of the best brass musicians in the world. At the peak of their powers, each presenting a programme of contemporary and traditional repertoire, along with major solo works, effortlessly linked by the inimitable Frank Renton. Each band will be encouraged to present themselves in their best possible light, playing to their strengths and free of the stresses and strains of contesting. We have great plans for this festival, so pay attention...

About Us
We are totally committed to providing high-quality experiences of brass band music-making through the provision of residential music courses and live performances. Live music making is an exhilarating experience and we want to bring it to as wide an audience as we possible at the highest possible quality.
​
We have grown our Summer School from humble beginnings to one which is renown for the quality of faculty and delegate experience. Our 2026 Summer School is sold out. We are running our second Winter School in December and it's already growing. We have plans to widen our residential music-making offerings and are investing in the growth of our Festival of Brass. We take feedback very seriously and aren't a shop-front, so we won't sell you anything that you didn't sign up for!
