Douvre and Paris say Au Revoir

Douvre is to step down from his roles of Artistic Director and Director of  Paris Brass Band. Having taken over from Florent Didier in 2021, Douvre led the band to victory at the French Open in 2022 as well as 3 second place finishes at the French Nationals. They also performed together at the British Open in 2022 and Swiss Open in 2023.

In announcing the news following his final concert performance last month, the band stated: "Thank you for all the work done during these four beautiful years. We wish you great success in your future personal and artistic projects."
