WELCOME TO
WHITE ROSE CONCERT BAND

A Yorkshire-based community wind band

White Rose Concert Band is made up of an enthusiastic group of amateur musicians who perform a wide range of music regularly throughout the year.

ABOUT US

White Rose Concert Band is a community music group for adults, which began in 1976.

We practise and perform as two amateur bands - a Training band and a Main band.

​

Our musical directors are John Kendrew for the Training band and Ben Tierney for the Main band. They encourage us to play a wide range of music - anything from pop, jazz, folk and film themes to arrangements of classical music and challenging 20th and 21st century wind band music.

​

We perform regularly in formal concerts throughout the year and on bandstands during the Summer months. We have also received gold and platinum awards for recent performances at the annual National Concert Band Festival.
