  The appointment will take effect from 2027.

The closing date for applications to become the new Director of Artistic Planning for the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain is today (8th March).

4BR has been informed that initial expressions of interest have come from a wide ranging set of art sector and music sources.

Transition

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.
