"To think Derwent Brass has been nominated out of the thousands of
musical groups across the country is truly staggering, and it means so much
to our whole organisation and its followers. I hope we can now yield support
from across the brass band movement and take this unique opportunity to
position our treasured genre in the spotlight of the classical world.”
Derwent Brass Associate Composer, Matthew Eden, added: “The activities
of Derwent Brass create a unique dynamic, where they are stretching both in
ambition and artform, but doing so in a way that maintains a sense of
belonging, contributing to both enduring appeal and accessibility.
"This past year has been one of their best and I could not be prouder to see
their pioneering approach to brass banding and sustainability receive due
recognition across multiple platforms. This pride is felt deep across the
organisation, its associates, and followers, and into the community where
their enterprise continues to attract momentum for new and exciting
reasons.”
