Welcome to Cumbria Youth Brass Band, Anna Hughes-W Welcome to Cumbria Youth Brass Band, Anna Hughes-Williams! We are delighted to announce the appointment of Anna Hughes-Williams as the new Musical Director of Cumbria Youth Brass Band. An internationally respected cornet player, conductor and brass educator, Anna brings an exceptional wealth of experience to the role. Having won every major title in British brass banding and received the prestigious Harry Mortimer Memorial Award for her outstanding contribution to youth brass music, she has spent her career inspiring and developing the next generation of brass players. She has also worked with the National Youth Brass Bands of Great Britain, Wales and Scotland, helping young musicians reach their full potential. Anna said: "I am delighted to be joining Cumbria Youth Brass Band as Musical Director and am excited to begin working with its talented young musicians. My passion is bringing through the next generation of brass players and ensuring they are given the same opportunities I was fortunate enough to enjoy. Brass banding is about far more than musical excellence – it's about creating a positive, supportive and inspiring environment where every player feels valued, challenged and able to achieve more than they ever thought possible. I am looking forward to building on the excellent work already taking place at Cumbria Youth Brass Band and helping its young musicians develop their musical skills, confidence and enjoyment of brass banding for many years to come." We are incredibly excited for the future of CYBB under Anna's leadership and can't wait to see where this new chapter takes our talented young musicians. Please join us in giving Anna a very warm welcome!
