Foden's Youth Band 24/25 Season 

Foden’s Band has announced that registration is now open for this year’s Foden’s Youth Band. 
The Youth Band, now entering its 13th season, welcomes players from across the region and from further afield to monthly rehearsals led by Foden’s team of experienced conductors and tutors. Players aged 21 or under, and grade 5 or above, are welcome to apply to the band. 
The band meets 10 times per academic year in Sandbach, benefitting from unique opportunities thanks to access to Foden’s talented and experienced team of conductors, tutors, performers and composers. 
 
A spokesperson for the band explained, “Once again, we will be working in partnership with the RNCM - Royal Northern College of Music who will be sending students to shadow Foden’s Band tutors as part of their studies. This partnership has proved highly inspirational for the young musicians in the band.” 
 
The band has an exciting season planned, which will include a collaborative project with the brass department at Chetham's School of Music, a new commission from the band’s horn tutor Jonathan Bates  and an opportunity to perform on stage with Foden’s band in concert at the Victoria Hall, Hanley in June 2025.
