2025 Elgar International Festival of Brass

Following the success of the inaugural Elgar International Festival of Brass in Bromsgrove the year, the 2025 event will go ahead at the new venue of Malvern Theatres. It will take place on the weekend of 7th-8th June and will feature Black Dyke, Cory and Foden's Bands alongside an appearance from Septura Brass. It was also confirmed that a local community band will be invited to perform in the bandstand located within the theatre grounds on the Sunday between the performances of Black Dyke and Foden's.

Commenting on event, Festival spokesperson Carole Crompton said, "The feedback from the festival was so overwhelmingly positive from everyone who attended. The decision to invite three world class bands who had the freedom to choose important and engaging repertoire was an incredible success." The concerts will also be recorded for broadcast on the WobPlay recording platform.
