City of Oxford Silver Band
Ensemble
The City of Oxford Silver Band is the oldest brass band in the region and can trace its roots to the 1840s.
Over the years, the band has won contest titles, toured Europe and North America, and brought on generations of young players. Its youth band once set a world record by playing without stopping for 28 hours and 45 minutes!
Today the band plays concerts and community events across Oxfordshire, and welcomes players of all ages and abilities to its four thriving ensembles. It also competes each year in the National Brass Band Championships, reaching the finals in both 2025 and 2026.
