Eight bands

The live broadcast event on Sunday 17th November will see eight bands compete for the coveted Youth Brass in Concert Champion title: Elland Youth, Houghton Area Youth, Lancashire Youth, Lions Brass, Macclesfield Youth, Seindorf Beaumaris Youth, Wardle Academy, and Youth Brass 2000.

A musical day out

Youth Brass in Concert also offers an excellent opportunity to get children inspired to take up a brass instrument, with tickets £14.60 for adults, £5.60 for under 18s and free for under 5s.

Nigel Stevens added: "Brass banding has always been about community, and our Youth and Education activities are no different.

Last year our Aspire programme saw school children from around the North East participate in a day of music making, and this year we hope Youth Brass in Concert will inspire all the young people in the audience to pick up an instrument and experience all the benefits banding has to offer."
