The Phoenix Concert Band Sutton  - Home page

About the Band
We are a concert wind band consisting of adult learner musicians.
We play on Friday evenings in Christ Church, Sutton, at 7.15 pm  during term time and at various concert venues throughout the year. Whilst junior players have many youth bands and orchestras to help them along, there are far fewer opportunities for adults who take up an instrument later in life or choose to return to playing after many years absence. We continue to welcome new players with little experience of ensemble playing although we do ask for Grade 4 proficiency or above. If you are interested in joining please visit our contacts page.

Our members play a wide range of instruments;
    Woodwind - Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Alto/Tenor/Baritone Sax, Bassoon.
    Brass - French Horn, Trumpet/Cornet, Trombone, Euphonium. Tuba, String Bass
    Percussion.

   The band is particularly keen to recruit the low brass.

About the Music
We play a wide variety, including:
    Film and show selections
    Arrangements of popular songs, old and new
