New Partnership to Debut at UniBrass

The organisers of the 2023 UniBrass Championships have announced that the event will feature a debut performance from the Warwickshire & Coventry Youth Brass Band. It forms part of a new partnership with the Warwickshire & Coventry Youth Brass Course for the event which this year is being held at the Warwick Arts Centre on Saturday 11th February. 

The band was founded following Covid-19 to provide more musical opportunities for young brass players under the age of 18 across the Warwickshire and Coventry region and will see them open the exciting results ceremony with a 20-minute exhibition performance. Run by a group of volunteers from across the Midlands, the Warwickshire Music Hub, and Brass Bands England's Brass Foundations team, they will be directed by Simon Hogg, whose infectious enthusiasm and passion for music has been crucial during the first stages of this exciting initiative.

Andy Straiton of the UniBrass Foundation explained, “We are proud to be supporting this new youth band as it gets started and looking forward to their debut performance in front of an always enthusiastic audience.”
