We fund music lessons for London children to enable them to fulfil their potential
Story
#BrassontheBus is a fundraising event which first took place on Saturday the 2nd of April 2016. We travelled around London with a brass band on a Routemaster bus, playing outside some of London's most iconic venues and raising money for charity.
This has grown into an annual event that we like to think is the highlight of the year for brass players and unsuspecting members of the public alike!
Over the course of the last five years we’ve given twenty performances to hundreds of people at some of London’s most iconic landmarks, raising thousands of pounds for Mind, Music & the Deaf and the London Music Fund.
The band is made up of professional musicians and students who generously give their time for free.
Sadly we've had to postpone this year's event, but we hope you enjoy our Brass on the Bus video and consider donating. We'll then carry on fundraising when we do the live event later in the year.
Our mission is to nurture the talent of every young musician in London, in particular from families who are unable to pay the costs of ongoing tuition. Our programmes increase diversity and promote inclusion, and offer opportunity to children who simply wouldn’t otherwise have access.
