Tickets for Euro championships events now on sale

An ambitious full week of events is planned in the city of Malmö, Sweden, between 29 April and 7 May 2023 for the European Brass Band Championships – and tickets for the extravaganza have gone on sale from 10am today.

The occasion will see bands from across Europe gather in a celebration of music-making in the most important and prestigious contest in the brass event calendar.

As well as competing bands – which will include Scotland’s Whitburn Band – the programme of events will include premieres and tribute performances from renowned composers and artists.

Ulf Rosenberg, president of the European Brass Band Association, commented: "The European brass band family will be in Sweden for the first time, and we are looking forward immensely to what promises to be a fantastic occasion.

“Organisers Brassmusik Skåne have assembled an outstanding programme of events and performers which includes the cultural life in Malmö. The Malmö Live venue for the championships is excellent for brass bands. This is an occasion not to be missed by any lovers of our music!”

Bo Winborg, president of Brassmusik Skåne adds: ”After years of preparation, and cancelled events, we are now ready to invite you to Malmö. My colleagues and I have done our utmost to make a visit to the city well worth a whole week of your life, but also during a long weekend.

“So whatever you choose, you are warmly welcome to Malmö!”
