The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain under the direction of Guest Conductor Colonel David Barringer MVO MBE. Tidworth Garrison Theatre, 19th April 2025. Coventry Variations was originally written in December 1986 and is dedicated to the composer’s stepfather, the late Cyril Manning, former bandmaster of the Southend Citadel Band of the Salvation Army. The theme of The NYBBGB Youth Band Easter concert 2025 is Standing on the Shoulders of Giants. As we commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, we honour the courage and sacrifice of those who secured our freedom. We also recognise all those who have gone before us, to make The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain the best youth brass band in the world. This concert also marks a significant milestone in our three-year partnership with The Royal Corps of Army Music, the UK’s largest employer of professional brass band musicians. This collaboration offers the young musicians of The NYBBGB unparalleled opportunities to learn from and perform with British Army musicians. This performance embodies our shared commitment to musical excellence and remembrance. The NYBBGB is extremely grateful to British Army Music for their generous support.
