Jersey Premier Brass

Jersey Premier Brass advances the arts in Jersey through the performance and promotion of brass band music for public benefit. Comprised of approximately 30 volunteer musicians, the band delivers a programme of free public concerts and performances throughout the year, ensuring that high-quality live music is accessible to all regardless of financial circumstances. The band also supports community and charitable events across the Island, helping local organisations engage with the public and raise funds. In addition, Jersey Premier Brass promotes musical education by offering free tuition and, where needed, instruments to new players, helping to develop musical skills and preserve the brass band tradition for future generations. The Trustees regularly review the band's activities to ensure its resources are used effectively in furtherance of its charitable purposes and for the benefit of the people of Jersey.

The objects of the Association shall be to: -Advance, improve, develop and maintain public education in and appreciation of the art and science of brass band music through performances, workshops, and tuition; - Provide opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds in Jersey to participate in brass band music-making; - Promote musical excellence and encourage the development of brass band musicianship, particularly among young people; - Foster community engagement and support charitable purposes through public performances and events; - Do anything that is lawful and conducive to the attainment of the above objects.

Jersey Premier Brass delivers at least seven free public concerts each year, bringing award-winning brass band music to local communities and visiting tourists across the Island. The band is committed to music education and offers free tuition to anyone wishing to learn to play a brass instrument. We actively welcome new members and provide both instruction and instruments free of charge. Jersey Premier Brass proudly represents Jersey annually at the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain, promoting the Island through musical excellence on a national stage.
