A community band with a big sound
Music that brings people together.
Deveron River Brass is an inclusive, ambitious community brass band based in Banff—sharing great music, supporting local causes and welcoming players of all ages.
About the band
More than you might expect.
We believe a brass band can honour tradition while still surprising an audience.
At Deveron River Brass, we're always looking for interesting music to explore and new ways to bring it to life. Our repertoire takes us from the great traditions of brass band music to contemporary compositions, film scores and familiar favourites.
Our audiences are at the heart of what we do. We want every generation to find something to enjoy, whether that's a piece they know and love or something they've never heard before.
For the musicians, it's an opportunity to be part of a band where the music never stands still.
