CSD Brass is a musically strong but friendly, non-contesting brass band based in the City of Cambridge. Our members come from all over Cambridge and the local villages, and we play for all kinds of events over a wide catchment area in Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. The music we play covers a variety of styles including traditional brass music such as military marches and sacred music, concert and chamber music, selections from musicals, and popular standards. Find out more About CSD.
As well as the main band, CSD Brass has a Training band, which caters to children and adults who are learning to play or want to gain more confidence.
