City of Bristol Brass Band Learner Band has relaunched as City of Bristol Community Brass Band. The band is fortunate to have Ali Cupples as Musical Director – he joined at the time of the relaunch – September 2024 and was immediately involved in a set of music at a fund-raising concert for the music department of CST Trinity Academy in Bristol. City of Bristol Community Band was delighted to be able to support this. The band comprises a mix of young people who are learning their skills and putting them into practice with a larger group, and adults who are returning to brass banding after a break, or who themselves have taken up a brass instrument later in life.
City of Bristol Brass Band will continue to make music at the highest level, offer musical education opportunities for local people of all ages, and continue to support our local community in Bristol and wider, as the band has done continuously since 1936.
