Wessex activities

The Wessex BBA has been busy with its brass activities of late.

 

The Wessex Brass Band Association has recently commenced its programme of activities which will take place during the current year.

Steven Mead

These activities started with a Steven Mead Week. Steven spent several days rehearsing some of our member bands, was a guest soloist at concerts given by two bands and also held a Workshop with the Association’s youth bands.

In August the Association is organising a Solo, Quartet and Ensemble Competition.

Workshops

During September the Association will be holding a series of Masterclasses and later in November a Conductors Workshop. And, at the beginning of December there will the annual Winter Festival.

Become a supporter and help make our future secure.
