The band promotes its own annual concert series in venues around the Huddersfield area and also performs further afield in Championship Brass concert series promotions and Brass & Voices concerts with some of the Country’s leading Choirs. The flexibility of the brass band enables it to embrace a range of programme concepts, be it Classical Brass - Original Brass or Brass in Concert
