Tredegar Town Band is a prestigious and highly-respected brass band hailing from Tredegar, a town in the South Wales valleys with a rich musical heritage. With a history stretching back to its formation in 1876, the band has evolved into one of the United Kingdom's premiere brass ensembles, acclaimed for both their musical excellence and their innovative collaborations. Over the years, the band has consistently showcased its versatility, with a repertoire that ranges from traditional brass compositions to contemporary works.
The ensemble has enjoyed notable success on both national and international stages, earning numerous accolities and champion titles in brass band competitions. In more recent years, their discography has expanded remarkably, impressing critics and audiences alike with albums such as "Vaughan Williams on Brass," which pays homage to the classical composer, and "Dark Arteries," which intersects the miner's heritage with powerful musical expressions. Their commissioning of new works and engagement with contemporary composers ensures that they not only respect the traditions of brass band music but also push its boundaries. Among their collaborative ventures, the contribution to the "Pride" soundtrack with "There Is Power in a Union" with the FORTZA Choir illustrates their commitment to community and social narratives, a testament to the soul of the valleys from which they arose.
