Backstage at the World's Biggest Brass Band Competition

Thanks for watching! Check out Episode 4 here –    • Why your monkey brain needs reverb   The annual European Brass Band Championships (EBBC) pits the best bands from countries across the continent against one another in a battle of the breves, a meeting of the minims, a crunch of the crotchets. Each year, one band is crowned Champion of Europe. But what does it even mean to be "the best" at music? Isn't it a subjective, taste-based pursuit? You might prefer brash sforzandi, while I interest myself only in the smoothest of ritardandi. What can a judge possibly point to in placing one excellent band above another? Well, it turns out, quite a lot. We travel to Stavanger in Norway for this year's competition, with Göta Brass from Sweden, to learn what it's all about. Along the way we speak to officials from the European Brass Band Association (EBBA), the composer of an official competition test piece, and a representative of the world's premiere brass music streaming service, wobplay (World of Brass play – who knew there were so many initialisations in the brass world!?)
