Summer Stage appearance for NYBB

Ambassadors of the National Youth Brass Band of Great recently completed a busy Summer by heading to London last weekend to perform in the courtyard of St Martin in the Field. Led by guest conductor Chris King, played in the north east corner of Trafalgar Square as part of an eclectic 'Summer Stage' weekend programme in front of a packed courtyard audience. The band’s programme included music from ABBA and Queen to William Rimmer and Hans Zimmer, with the audience showing their appreciation by demanding encores, which included 'The Floral Dance'.

Commenting on the appearance, NYBBGB CEO, Mark Bromley stated, "This was a wonderful way to round off a very busy period for the Youth Band, one that has brought a great deal of artistic acclaim. As part of our remit for reaching out to new audiences we couldn't have asked for anything better, and my thanks got to Chris King and the players for providing another memorable concert appearance." The organisation now looks forward to the Children’s Band performance at the Gala Concert day following the British Open on Sunday 10th September.
