Dublin Community Bands - How we started, where we stand, and what we aspire to
Our featured guest speaker was Tim Jameson, Dublin Community Bands founder and board member, and the Dublin Silver Band director.
The Dublin Cornet Band was founded in 1879 and remained active until 1929. This program was a precursor to the revival of the Dublin band tradition in 2010, whose initial focus was to form an elite performance group modeled after the British brass band. A British brass band is a musical ensemble comprising brass and percussion instruments. These groups perform a variety of traditional and contemporary repertoire and have a strong focus on competition.
Since its founding in 2010, the Dublin Community Band program has grown to include:
Their offerings for musicians have further expanded recently to include British brass band experiences for students - the Dublin Youth Brass Band and the general public - the Dublin Metro Brass Band.
Be sure to attend one of the performances of these exemplary groups soon. They are an important cultural asset for our community.
