Brass. As good as it gets!
What do you get when 11 of the finest brass bands from across the globe come together? We’ll tell you: an outrageously spectacular day of entertainment!
Now in its 47th year, the Brass in Concert Championship is contesting like you’ve never seen before. Each band takes to the stage with a unique concept; there’s a storyline, perhaps an actor, sometimes costumes. The air in Sage One swells with the notes of compositions having their world premieres, and the audience sit enraptured.
Innovative, technically brilliant, and beautifully played.
