Delegates have already signed up in numbers for the 2027 Elgar International Brass Band Summer School.

Elgar
  Delegates have already signed up for the 2027 course

The organisers of the Elgar International Brass Band Summer School (EIBBSS) have informed 4BR that preparations are already well advanced for next year's course at Bromsgrove School.

It will take place from Saturday 24th July to Friday 30th July 2027, bringing together brass and percussion delegates for what they state will be outstanding music-making, professional tuition, concerts and the distinctive sense of friendship and community.

Build on success

EIBBSS Director Carole Crompton told 4BR: "We continue to build on the success — and the demand for places on the 2027 Course has already exceeded expectations and we are fast approaching full capacity.

That is a wonderful endorsement of what the EIBBSS has to offer and what has been created together over the years.

If you are hoping to join us in 2027, we would certainly recommend getting in touch sooner rather than later."
