Look out for BRASS IN THE PARK SUMMER 2010 for an exciting programme of free open air Brass Band concerts in Kirklees parks and museum gardens throughout the summer. For further details click on the BRASS IN THE PARK 2010 link or event listing below.
Kirklees has an excellent reputation for top class brass band concerts. This is no surprise as the borough is home to numerous brass bands, many steeped in history, linked to the manufacturing and mining industries.
Throughout the year Kirklees plays host to lots of brass band concerts, many in the magnificent Victorian town halls in Batley, Cleckheaton, Dewsbury and Huddersfield.
Kirklees' town halls offer outstanding facilities for live brass band music, with Huddersfield Town Hall particularily renowned for its acoustics.
Throughout the summer Kirklees town centres, parks and museum gardens become venues for a season of free Brass Band concerts in the open air to delight both the serious music follower as well as family audiences.
