University Of York Concert Band

A group of wind, brass and percussion players playing your favourite pieces of music!

UoY Concert Band is a non-auditioning, student-lead ensemble, which provides a great opportunity for woodwind, brass and percussion musicians to play music and to have fun.

Our repertoire ranges from marches to musicals, from symphonic wind music to Disney, so there's always something for everyone!

Apart from performing in the Sir Jack Lyons Concert Hall three times a year in our termly concerts, we have also performed at Woodstock (Vanburgh College's summer music festival) in the past, and our annual Easter tour gives further performance opportunites for the band. Previous tour destinations include Paris, Iceland and Vienna to name a few.

We have regular socials, such as pub quizzes at V-bar and bar crawls, as well as biscuits at every rehearsal, so meeting great people is as much a part of the Concert Band experience as playing great music is.

Do come along and join us if you play an instrument, as we always welcome new members, even later in the term!
