The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain (NYBBGB) is hoping that its first major project of 2022 will see brass band fans take the opportunity to come along and support the organisation.

The final of the Weston Conductor's Competition will be held on Saturday 29th January at De Montfort School in Evesham.

Contenders

Six contenders will look to claim the opportunity to work as an Associate Conductor alongside Martyn Brabbins, the Musical Director English National Opera on the Summer Residential Course of the NYBBGB at Taunton School between the 30th July and 6th August.

The winner will also conduct a work at the end of course concert as well as receive a fee of £500.

The six conductors will be given 20 minutes to work on one of three classic brass band marches — 'Mephistopheles', 'Knight Templar' or 'The Cossack' to impress the adjudication panel of Dr Robert Childs, Capt Sam Hairsine RM and Martyn Brabbins himself.

The finalists will work on three compositions — Eric Ball's 'Resurgam', Philip Sparke's 'Music for a Festival' and Peter Graham's 'Shine as the Light'4BR
