  The Youth Championships will now take place in 2021

It has been announced that the 2020 German National Youth Championships have been cancelled due to the ongoing effects of the Coronavirus pandemic in the country. However, the event will now go ahead in 2021.

Decision

A spokesperson from the Deutsche Brass Band Verband (DBBV) organisers told 4BR: "The current developments affecting all cultural events in Germany from Coronavirus means that we have had to take this decision.

Slowing down the spread of the virus and protecting the population remain a top priority. For this reason and after intensive consultations, main sponsor, Yamaha and the Deutsche Brass Band Verband as the responsible body of the event have jointly decided to cancel the working phase of the Deutsche Jugend Brass Band 2020.

The good news however is that the Deutsche Jugend Brass Band event will now take place on the weekend of the 14th/17th October 2021DBBV

They added: "The planning and the organisation of our project, which was launched successfully in 2019, is not realisable under these conditions especially in view of our responsibility towards our participants and lecturers."

The good news however is that the Deutsche Jugend Brass Band event will now take place on the weekend of the 14th/17th October 2021.

In addition there will be a concert element added from the 22nd until 24th October also within the Sauerland Herbst Hall, led by conductor and Yamaha ambassador Armin Bachmann and project leader Alexander Richter.
