First World Brass Day looks for free support

If you want to help celebrate the first World Brass Day you can do so by recording its anthem with free download music.

World Brass Day
  World Brass Day will take place on 23rd September

It is hoped that the first World Brass Day will be celebrated around the globe on 23rd September with a series of performances of its official anthem, 'La Mourisque' by 16th century renaissance composer Tielman Susato.

The global celebration under the heading 'Music Inspires', is the brainchild of renowned trumpet player Prof. Otto Sauter, the founder of the World Brass and European Brass Associations.

Inspiring

It is aimed at inspiring brass musicians to come together to help promote musical cooperation and cultural understanding — from individuals to universities, small ensembles to professional symphony orchestras.

The World & European Brass Associations are a cooperation of international brass festivals, universities, orchestras, opera and concert houses, music institutions, ensembles, bands and musicians who support brass music through education and intercultural exchange in concerts, masterclasses and professional connections.
