Open Call: Blow and Blast

Do you have a dusty trumpet in the attic? A forgotten trombone needing a breath of fresh air? A once-loved tuba you’re desperate to blast?

This summer we’re on a mission to reunite players, with their beloved brass! Perhaps you’ve played a brass instrument before and now feeling a bit rusty, or maybe you’ve previously performed, or perhaps you might have been gifted an instrument but only took a handful of lessons...

We want to connect a community of players, who are looking to gain some brass skills, as well as have a hoot – if that’s you, then look no further!

Simply show up on the day with your instrument for a rehearsal workshop from 1pm to 2:30pm. The group will then have the opportunity to perform on the Brassworks stage at 3pm.

Blow and Blast is part of BRASSWORKS, a unique festival celebrating the best of contemporary brass music.

This project is supported by Royal Greenwich Festivals.

BRASSWORKS IS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE!

Everybody's welcome at Woolwich Works.

We're a dog friendly venue and our courtyard music is free of charge. No need to book a ticket in advance. Just come down with family and friends and enjoy our courtyard. We've got family games, a Courtyard Bar selling alcohol and soft drinks, an ice cream bike, a giant deckchair and a stretch tent to shade you from the sun.
