About The Band
Saffron Walden Town Band was reformed in the early 1980s. We are a community based ensemble of woodwind, brass and percussion players. We currently have around 50 members, who meet each Wednesday evening to rehearse in a relaxed and friendly environment.
The Band enables musicians of all ages and abilities to come together to make music, have fun and share musical knowledge and enthusiasm with others. We hold 3 main concerts each year, in and around Saffron Walden. We also perform at local events and help to raise money for various different charities.
Our band is always looking for new members, If you would like to join, please speak with any of the members who will happily provide you with any additional information that you require. Alternatively, send us a message via the Contact Us page of the website. We look forward to hearing from you.
Repertoire
We have a very wide and varied musical repertoire with something to suit everyone including classical, popular and light music, as well as music from films, shows and the occasional march! Some of the pieces we play are straight forward, whilst others are somewhat demanding of our talents! However, we continuously strive to develop and improve our musical understanding and performances, as well as the overall quality of sound that the band produces.
Junior Band
In June 2010 we formed the Junior Band to cater for young people between the ages of 8 and 13 who are just starting their musical adventures. The youngsters are a lively and enthusiastic group. We aim to provide children with the opportunity to experience musical challenges and develop their musical awareness. They are encouraged to perform at the main band concerts and to take pride in their musical abilities, but most of all to have fun!
