NYBBS at Edinburgh International Festival

The Reserve band of the National Youth Brass Band of Scotland (NYBBS) will be joining over a dozen other music organisations to bring a variety of listening experiences to the opening day of the Edinburgh International Festival. 

Festival director Nicola Benedetti has fused together brass bands and pipers, rappers and choirs in a diverse community of Scotland’s young musicians for an energetic afternoon of music making from 12 noon on Saturday 5 August. This Opening Fanfare event in the Princes Street Gardens is free and unticketed, so audience members are encouraged to drop in at any time during the afternoon. The NYBBS Senior band will be making an appearance at the festival alongside the Grit Orchestra in the Ross Bandstand the following day.
