The band will consist of alumni who are working professionally in the music business, existing LCoM conservatoire students, along with up and coming young musicians who show great potential.
Generation Big Band is a new and exciting project led by Mark Chandler at Leeds College of Music. The band will feature some of the current LCoM students and alumni and also 6 younger musicians. The idea is to bring together different generations of brilliant musicians to form one fantastic band. The fee for young musicians is £125.
LCoM are looking for six talented musicians up to the age of 18 to join this project. We would expect to receive applications from students aged 14+, although if you are younger and of a high standard on your instrument, please do apply.
