Music lovers are in for an exceptional evening this May as two of the world’s finest brass bands come together for a spectacular charity concert in one of Yorkshire’s most atmospheric venues.
On Saturday 30 May at 7pm, the stunning Dewsbury Minster will play host to “Champion Brass at the Minster” – a powerful collaboration between the 2026 Yorkshire Champions, Hepworth Band, and Brassband Burgermusik Luzern, one of Europe’s premier ensembles and 2014 European Champions.
This special massed bands concert promises a rich and uplifting programme, showcasing the very best of brass band music in a setting renowned for its beauty and acoustics. With both bands at the top of their game, audiences can expect a memorable night of musical excellence and stirring performances.
Beyond the music, the event carries a deeply meaningful purpose. The concert is being held in aid of the Albie Sugden Foundation, a charity inspired by the courage and resilience of Albie. The foundation provides vital support to children living with cancer and helps fund research into brain tumours, making a tangible difference to families facing incredibly difficult challenges.
Speaking ahead of the event, organisers shared their pride in supporting such an important cause, expressing hope that the community will come together for what promises to be a truly special evening. Combining world-class music with heartfelt purpose, this is more than just a concert — it’s an opportunity to make a difference.
