Leeds Conservatoire Wind Orchestra
Over the years I have had the great pleasure of working with the staff and students at Leeds Conservatoire and it has always been an excellent musical and educational experience for everyone involved. The college is a hive of musical activity with an enabling atmosphere and a desire for excellence. After lockdown it is hoped that large ensemble work can resume there for the benefit of all those enthusiastic young players

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 £10,000 for local churches, Guide Dogs, Scout Association etc.
