Stage and Screen ‘Anniversary Edition’ show at Derby Theatre, celebrating
Disney 100, Warner Bros 100, James Bond 70, Jurassic Park 30 and more.

The band enjoys a rewarding artistic relationship with Derby Theatre, and in

August 2023 began rehearsals for a 4 week, 35-show run of Sarah Brigham’s
acclaimed production of ‘Brassed Off’ which proved to be a huge success.

What a year it has been for Derwent Brass, and with even more exciting
ventures in the pipeline, including its recently announced collaboration

with the UK’s Best Selling Classical Artist Russell Watson in March 2024, the
future also looks very bright indeed.

Speaking about the nomination, Chairman, Graham Johnson commented:

"This is a wonderful way to recognise the continual artistic ambitions of the
band and its achievements over 12 months which saw us continue to grow

and expand our audience profile.
