Dublin Concert Band
Dublin Concert Band is an acclaimed ensemble of over 50 talented musicians. The band's ethos is all about making excellent music in an environment of respect, friendship and fun. A truly intergenerational group, musicians aged 18-80 come together to rehearse and perform in around 20 concerts annually.
The Band has won the Irish National Band Championships on more than 40 occasions, and has represented Ireland at numerous international festivals. The band performs a wide range of music, from virtuosic contemporary classical works, right through to big band, swing, funk, musical theatre and film music.
In 2019 Dublin Concert Band appointed Brendan Breslin as Musical Director, and recent highlights include a sold-out concert in the National Concert Hall to mark the band’s 60th Anniversary and an invitation from RTÉ lyric fm to give an hour-long studio performance broadcast live to an audience of 35,000 listeners on the station's Weekend Drive show.
Dublin Concert Band does not currently provide instruments for its members, but it does own a collection of percussion instruments, in part supported by Music Network’s Music Capital Scheme, funded by The Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
