Brass Society is a student run ensemble based at the University of Warwick. Our membership mainly consists of Warwick students, but we also welcome students from other local universities as well as members of the public. The aim of Brass Society is to create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where anyone can enjoy making music and develop their skills. As there is no Music degree at Warwick, every member of the society views their playing as a hobby rather than a course obligation. Despite this, the standard of music-making is very high, and there is a place for everyone, whether novice or virtuoso. The society was founded in 1991 by student Sarah Sterne and originally consisted of a brass quartet. Since then, we have grown massively, and BrassSoc now contains four main ensembles, including a full-sized contesting brass band. These groups contribute heavily to the music scene at the university and the surrounding area, playing in a wide range of concerts and events throughout the year. The variety of performance opportunities offerred to members means that Brass Society is one of the most inclusive and exciting socities on campus!
