Surrey Brass offers a sponsorship opportunity.Do you love films?Do you love the the theatre?Or just love the fantastic sound of brass?Support the performance of a blockbuster programme of music from Stage and Screen this Autumn. |
Surrey Brass is delighted to be back performing and rehearsing
after probably the longest silence in live performance in human history.
To celebrate the return to performing, this Autumn we aim to present a major concert of popular music featuring popular music from smash hit films and stage shows and perform it in at least one major venue in Surrey. Creating shows like this means a lot more than just turning up and playing. Due to our long absence, our reserves are depleted.
Join the Surrey Brass appeal to help us continue our mission of bringing innovative and entertaining concerts to the people of Surrey.

To give you some insight into what is involved:
- We need to develop the musical programme and that means buying sheet music, and sometimes paying an arranger or composer to create something special for us.
- We must rehearse the programme and pay for hall hire and related expenses to do so.
- Venue hire, our professional Conductor fees, hire of percussion instruments, and the fees for professionals who play them, form the bulk of the expenses.
- We pay Performing Rights royalties to support the composers of the music we perform.
- Other expenses include poster, programme and ticket design and printing, often several hundred pounds for a large venue.
- If we invite a soloist, or need to pay for deputies, costs mount even more
Prices are rising post-COVID: typically it costs up to £2000 to put on a concert in a large venue, and unless we are lucky enough to achieve significant ticket sales, it is rare that Box Office income is sufficient to cover costs. Throughout our twenty year existence, Surrey Brass has never had routine financial support, and as an organisation of only a dozen regular players, the ability of our members to raise funds is very limited indeed. Although every year we perform concerts to raise funds for charitable causes, Surrey Brass is not a Registered Charity so cannot benefit from advantages this status attracts.
