NYBBGB at the Grammy Awards
Members of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain featured at the 2022 Gramophone Classical Music Awards on Tuesday evening, providing some of the musical entertainment for the leading lights of the recording industry. The event took place at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
Commenting on their inclusion at the Awards, Mark Bromley, CEO of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain stated, "We were honoured to be invited by the Gramophone Classical Music Award organisers to open the ceremony. We were one of a handful of artists who performed through the evening including the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, Artist of the Year soprano Barbara Hannigan, pianist Betrand Chamayou and Young Artist of the Year violinist Johan Dalene. To perform shoulder to shoulder in that company made for a memorable experience for our performers. We are deeply honoured to have been invited."
The 11-piece brass ensemble comprising members and recent alumni of the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain, performed an arrangement of James Curnow's rousing 'Fanfare and Flourishes', arranged and conducted by Dr Robert Childs. The organisation’s Director of Artistic Planning commented, “It was a remarkable evening to be involved in, and the interest that the ensemble created with the invited world class artists and leading industry figures showed just how impressed people were."
