Upcoming Event: Dublin Brass Week

Dublin Brass Week offers an intensive yet varied schedule of events in which players can perform and learn in multiple settings. These range from traditional masterclasses, individual lessons, concerts, and ensembles to more specialized classes such as audition training, lectures, screened orchestral audition, jazz, and improvisation classes. Additionally, the annual Dublin Brass Week Concerto Competition is held during the festival, offering the winner a solo performance in the DBW Closing Concert and an engagement as soloist with an Irish orchestra in the coming seasons. 

Each year, Dublin Brass Week invites a faculty of leading soloists and internationally renowned teachers to teach, play, and share their knowledge at DBW.  Dublin Brass Week's unique atmosphere provides a positive and encouraging setting for musicians from around the globe to meet, collaborate, and share their passion for brass music.
