Brass Bands England has assembled an outstanding programme of events and performers which, combined with the excellent facilities at Birmingham's Town Hall and recently remodelled Symphony Hall, will guarantee a very exciting weekend of high-quality music-making. An occasion not to be missed by any lovers of our music!"
