Shropshire Brass Ensemble - Liberation of Normandy Tour 2022

A new brass ensemble formed by Steve Pritchard-Jones will travel to France in August to perform 6 concerts over 7 days as guests of the Juno Beach Centre, Normandy. 

Whilst there, Shropshire Brass Ensemble will participate in the 80th anniversary of the Dieppe Raids and also at events to mark the D Day landings. Performance opportunities include civic events, concerts and also at several British and Canadian war graves ceremonies. 

MD Steve Pritchard-Jones said "this is an exciting opportunity for my new ensemble and I am lucky to have excellent musicians willing to sacrifice a week of their summer holiday to represent Shropshire at the 80th commemorations. I’m also grateful to those people who contributed via our crowdfunding page and also to the Shropshire Freemasons for donating over £1000 to assist with travel costs”.
