We are excited to be able to repeat an exclusive residency in January and March with Maestro Russell Gray, the world-renowned music director and cornet virtuoso, who has led multiple Brass Bands to championship titles in the UK and other countries.
Russell will help us to prepare for NABBA 2026. He will also be offering private lessons for musicians and directors and clinics for all types of bands. His lessons and clinics also make a great holiday gift for students and musicians of all ages. Contact us at info@sfband.org if you or your group would like to learn more or if you would like to present a unique gift to somebody else.
Come out for a special opportunity to experience British-style brass banding on the west coast! For another year, almost a tradition by now, San Francisco Brass Band along with Pacific Brass Band have put together an exciting program of brass band favorites. This concert also acts as a send-off to the SFBB as they are headed the following week to compete in the top-tier championship section of NABBA. The joint concert will culminate in both bands playing a final piece together.
