Phoenix Concert Band

Type: Wind Orchestra

Phoenix Concert Band is rapidly gaining recognition as one of the leading community ensembles in its field in West Yorkshire. The band is a community band, drawing its membership from a wide cross-section of ages and backgrounds. The players all share a love of music making and a wish to promote the playing of wind band music as widely as possible.

It is 3 bands in one: Concert Band, Wind Band and Stage Ensemble, with a number of smaller groups such as the Saxophone and Wind Ensemble and Folk Group. The Phoenix Concert Band can provide performances for all occasions.

The band performs for a number of charities and since January 2001 has raised in excess of £1000 for local churches, Guide Dogs, Scout Association etc.
