Sunday Bandstand 29 October 2017

The Italian Brass Band was founded in November 2013, as a result of a dream of four music friends sat at a bar in Rome. Fascinated by the world of brass bands, decided to set up one in Rome. From this idea the band consists of 30 musicians from the best Italian bands, orchestras and musical ensembles. The band has had many concerts throughout Italy. 
May 2nd 2015, the band with its musical director Filippo Cangiamila was awarded first place in the challenge section of the 38th European brass band championships.
It's a miracle because, facing the daydream, these four friends, in just two days, pulled together thirty of the best Italian instrumentalists. It's a miracle because in just twenty days of that morning the ensemble play through its first test in front of a home audience . It is true that you may not believe in miracles but this band is now a happy reality.

Today, we feature two tracks from this band.....and more will follow.

Enjoy......................Chris
