Filton Concert Brass partner with YTLArena, Bristol

Bristol has been given the green light to start building a new Arena. The centre piece for the Arena will be the Brabazon hangars in Filton and the Arena Campus will be built on the Filton airfield. The Arena Campus will be the third biggest in the world and encompass three main music venues; the Arena hall, a Festival concert hall, and a hub. Please see the link to the future plans for the Arena: ytlarenabristol.co.uk.

The YTLArena is planned to open in early 2023 and will be a fantastic music venue for the city of Bristol. The Arena wanted to promote “local high end musical organisations” and has partnered with Filton Concert Brass to build a mutually beneficial relationship for the future and for Bristol.

Barry Scott, our Strategic Fundraising Officer and bass trombone player, did a Q&A session “Backstage with Filton Concert Brass” with YTLArena, talking about what has contributed to Filton Concert Brass’ success, to lockdown Zoom-performances, to mental health. Read more here. 
 
Filton Concert Brass are looking forward to working with YTLArena to showcase innovative concerts, youth development, ad-hoc rehearsal facilities, plus more. The partnership is at its embryonic stage but we are very excited and grateful for the partnership, knowing that the band and the Bristol community can really benefit in the future.
