Presented in partnership with NARC.

Durham Town Hall

Brassed On, our showcase which will see two of the region’s most exciting up and coming artists partner with brass players to give their music a whole new dimension, returns after debuting as part of last year’s festival.

Compered by BBC’s Shakk, this year’s exciting collaborative performances will see North Shield’s masters of a new kind of modernist folk, Hector Gannet perform with NuSound Brass, and Sunderland-based, Brazilian-born alt-pop artist Nadedja perform with Loud Noises to produce brand-new brass arrangements to perform their songs in a way they’ve never heard before.

This event is sold out.
