Brass In Concert Festival to be live-streamed

The 43rd Brass in Concert Festival at Sage Gateshead, from 16 - 17 November, will be live-streamed on the Internet by the event’s Principal Partner, World of Brass, anchored Iwan Fox of 4barsrest.com

Available worldwide online to watch at www.worldofbrass.tv will be the entire, main Brass in Concert Championship on 17 November, as well as, on 16 November, the 2nd Youth Brass in Concert Championship and World of Brass in Concert featuring Brighouse and Rastrick with euphonium virtuoso, David Childs, all for just £12.95. The Youth Brass in Concert competition can be enjoyed as a stand-alone live-stream absolutely free-of-charge.

A spokesperson for Brass in Concert, also held in association with World of Brass, Banks Group and Yamaha, stated: ‘We are delighted to be able to make the World’s leading brass entertainment festival available to lovers of band music worldwide. This new arrangement with World of Brass will provide benefits for all Brass in Concert performers, and we are indebted to the competing bands and gala concert participants for their co-operation in facilitating this. Brass in Concert’s reputation for providing high-quality entertainment is well established, especially since moving to Sage Gateshead in 2005, and our partnership with World of Brass since then has inspired countless innovations in the way that the bands themselves present their programmes. The introduction of Youth Brass in Concert in 2018 was also an enormous success and the projection of these bands’ performances around the World, along with those in the main Championship, will provide a fantastic marketing opportunity for both Brass in Concert and the bands themselves.’

Nicki Tonge, Brand Manager for World of Brass, also enthused: “We’re very excited to work with 4barsrest again, to bring this wonderful event to a wider audience in the UK and around the World. We’ll be delivering our usual high-quality audio and video, with Iwan Fox working tirelessly to bring you interviews and commentary throughout the whole weekend.”
