UniBrass line up announced

There will be 17 bands and plenty of music making opportunities to enjoy at the forthcoming UniBrass Championship on 14th February.

Wednesday, 04 February 2015

The UniBrass 2015 Championship is fast approaching, with the popular student event once more attracting bands from all over the country to the Warwick University Arts Centre on Saturday 14th February.

Free workshops and gala concert

Not only will 17 bands take to the stage to provide the excellent, highly competitive brass band music making, but there is also the added attraction of free workshop masterclasses with players from Cory Band as well as a gala concert to round things off from Jaguar Land Rover Band.

There will also be trade stalls available during the day and the closing ceremony will be featuring the world premiere of ‘UniTed’ by Dave Collins recorded as part of the UniTour project back in October.

Fantastic music making

The schedule of events and performances has now been released by the organisers, so why not take a trip (and there is always a great atmosphere) and enjoy 12 hours or more of fantastic music making.
