There are still a limited number of tickets available to hear the band in action under the direction of Katrina Marzella-Wheeler and featuring guest soloist, Angus Ritchie, the outstanding young euphonium player who was the winner of the 2025 NYBBGB Harry Mortimer Solo Award.

The Sounds of Change

The concert is entitled, 'Disruption: The Sounds of Change' and explores the themes of creativity, courage and progress. It will feature music from Rimsky-Korsakov to Lucy Pankhurst, Errollyn Wallen to Peter Graham in what promises to be a wide arc of inspiration.

Speaking about the event, NYBBGB, CEO, Mark Bromley, said: "We believe music should be a pathway for all children, regardless of background, to dream big, express themselves and feel part of something meaningful. This concert is a celebration of those values and a truly joyful event."
