OUR MISSION

The European Brass Band Association (EBBA) is an organisation that promotes and supports brass band music in Europe. It organises the European Brass Band Championship, a competition for brass bands from different countries, and also offers support and resources for brass band musicians and organisations. EBBA also works to promote cultural exchange and collaboration between brass bands across Europe. The organisation’s goal is to promote the brass band culture and music throughout Europe.

WHAT WE LOVE

From valve oil to the average number of bars of the set pieces since 1978, we love everything about brass bands.

WHAT WE DO

 Brass Banding all over Europe.
