The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain has started the process of shaping its next generation of senior leadership roles.

It has announced that it is inviting expressions of interest from people wishing to be considered for the role of Director of Artistic Planning.

Transition

The current holder, Dr Robert Childs will step down from the role in 2027, with the NYBBGB keen to ensure a seamless transition that is able to work towards guiding long term artistic strategy and further expand the band's national and international musical profile.

Reporting to the organisation's CEO, it is an integral role in helping to continue the organisation's forward thinking, inclusive ethos.

Candidates

Potential candidates should have a deep understanding of brass music, musicianship and the broader performing arts and cultural landscape, as well as being able to inspire and manage relationships with guest conductors and soloists, composers, tutors, young musicians and other youth music organisations.

It will be key that the person demonstrates strong strategic vision and organisational skills and is committed to promoting diversity, inclusivity and excellence in the arts.
