Library of Birmingham & Capsule - Call for Brass Players

Our friends at Capsule are on the lookout for brass players for a one of special project to celebrate the opening of the new Library. If you think you can help, or know someone who can, then please read on….

 Australian producers Super Critical Mass have been commissioned to present Together We Breathe, a large-scale project to celebrate the opening of the Library of Birmingham, and we’re looking for players to help us make this a truly a magnificent spectacle!

 A mass of brass players from the region will be positioned throughout the new library building, filling the air with a dramatic opening fanfare. From the deep throb of tuba, the wash of trombone, and the sinewy swirl of trumpets, audiences will be welcomed to the Library of Birmingham by a forest of brass. This is a really great opportunity to part of the opening of a crucial new cultural building in the region, and it’ll all be filmed for BBC’s Culture Show.
