Durham University Concert Band
Welcome to the Durham University Concert Band (DUCB) official website! We are the university’s only Concert Band, and open to all brass, woodwind and percussion players, priding ourselves on a relaxed and social community and a successful whilst welcoming ethos. We frequently perform to a premier standard, having won 3 consecutive Gold Awards at the National Concert Band Festival 2019, alongside sell-out concerts in Durham Castle Great Hall, and many other venues around the city.
The band rehearses weekly on Sunday afternoons in the Concert Room of Durham University Music Department on the picturesque Palace Green and is hoping to be able to perform safely whenever possible this year! In recent years, DUCB have also developed links within the local community, including an outreach concert with Whitworth Park School, and contributes to a wider Music Durham connection with the local area. We also hold frequent socials throughout the year, including recently movie nights, meals, bar crawls and picnics!
