The AD Concert Band was formed in 1975 as a youth band by the late Arthur Doyle, following his retirement as Principal Tuba w ... ith the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra (CBSO). This makes us one of the oldest civilian Concert Bands in the West Midlands. We'd love to hear from you if you play a woodwind, brass or percussion instrument and are interested in joining a band that: - plays all year round at a range of concerts across the Midlands - has a huge and ever-growing range of music, from classics to contemporary pieces, film and theatre soundtracks, and a few things you might not have heard before - is a fun and friendly place to play an instrument and meet other like minded people If you are, then just drop us a note anytime at musicaldirector@adband.org.uk, or just come and see us! We rehearse every Wednesday evening throughout the year (not just in term time) from 20:00 - 22:00 in Solihull. read more
