What does CECB mean in MUSIC

The Central England Concert Band (CECB) is an award-winning, volunteer wind band based in the West Midlands region of England. We are a charitable organization dedicated to providing quality music education and performing opportunities for all ages and abilities.

The CECB performs a wide range of repertoire that includes both traditional concert music and contemporary media music. Our concerts often feature original compositions or arrangements derived from films, television shows, video games, and popular songs.

The CECB was founded in 2001 and has operated continuously ever since. Over this time we have opened ourselves up to new audiences through our extensive touring schedule and performances at many prestigious venues all over England.

We are open to wind players of any age and skill level who wish to further their musical experience with us. Some members of the ensemble may be children who just want to learn more about playing an instrument other those playing more advanced pieces for more experienced players.
