Description
“Carol of the Shepherds” is the latest CD recording by the York-based Shepherd Group Brass Band. They are one of the largest Brass Band organisations in the country, made up of five ensembles and over one hundred and fifty players ranging from absolute beginners to semi-professionals.
The band name comes from an established association with the Shepherd Group, a key player in the construction industry and one of the leading family-owned private businesses in the UK. The Shepherd Group not only provide generous sponsorship but they also allow us the use of their state-of-the-art headquarters in Huntington, York for our rehearsal space.
The Christmas music was recorded over two days in the June heatwave at the All Saints RC School in York. The fourteen items that make up the CD include an international selection of composers ranging from Erik Leidzén to Philip Sparke and James Curnow.
It is also to purchase from the Band’s website.
