About Us
Perthshire
Brass was founded in 1978 by current Conductor and Musical Director,
George Annan. Over the past 30 years the band has built a strong
reputation for entertainment across Perthshire and beyond: The players
tour regularly, and have performed in Holland, Germany, France, Norway,
Czech Republic, and New Zealand.
In National Contest terms, the band is relatively young. There have been
some notable achievements however, twice named Scottish Band of the
Year, and appearing at the British Finals this year for the third time
in our short history. We are well respected across Scotland for our
emphasis on youth development, and for relying on home grown talent in
the national contest arena.
The band performs regularly around Perthshire and is always looking for
opportunities to play to local audiences.
We have a talented and enthusiastic junior section, Perthshire Youth
Brass, who are vital to the future of the band. These young players gain
experience in solo seats in their progression to the senior band.
