Following the success of Women In Brass in Brisbane 2022 and Melbourne 2023 we have decided to do it again, this time in Sydney.
We are calling for Expressions of Interest to be part of this dynamic event in Sydney 11th May 2024. Please fill out the Expression of Interest form and join the Facebook group Women In Brass.
Rehearsals will be Saturday, 4th May, Sunday, 5th May and concert day Saturday, 11th May.
The chosen players will receive access to their music by the end of the year. As rehearsal time is very limited, please have your parts fully prepared, prior to the first rehearsal so we can start shaping the music.
The objective of this band is to promote the talents of Australian female brass musicians and percussionists. We aim to inspire young female players and engage with community music groups nationally. Each year we will perform in a different state to allow for greater involvement across the country.
Below is a brief outline of the processes involved in the player section for Women In Brass:
- Expressions of Interest are sent out via the Women In Brass Facebook group as well as other banding pages.
- A selection panel including the appointed Musical Director(s) and organising committee assess the list using set criteria.
- The criterion for selection includes a number of factors: Who applies/player interest, player availability, player standard, and number requirements of each section.
- Players are contacted by the selection panel if they require more information.
- Previous acceptance into the group does not guarantee future acceptance.
Anyone who is traveling interstate to the event will be responsible for their own travel expenses as this is a charity event and we are unable to cover people's costs. To minimise accommodation costs, we are looking at the option of interstate players being billeted by NSW players. If this option interests you, please indicate it on the Expression of Interest form.
We look forward to making this another outstanding event to celebrate brass band music and bring Women In Brass together.
