The University Brass Band is a flagship Music Society ensemble which has amassed hundreds of alumni across the years. On Sunday 9 June 2024, band members past and present will join forces for an 'University Brass Band Reunion Concert' to celebrate the band and mark the end of an era as we wish a fond farewell to longstanding professional conductor Stuart Birnie. The massed ensemble will rehearse and perform a number of pieces throughout the day, including old favourites from our past and classics from across the brass band repertoire.
To take part in the day please write directly to universitymusichub@contacts.bham.ac.uk, and for more information about the free concert please visit the box office website.
