About this event
Vacancy: Musical Director / Conductor
Tutti! is an inclusive community concert band based in West Leeds, with around 40 members of varied ages and abilities. Formed in 2018, we meet in Bramley on Saturday mornings in termtime (10.15am-11.45 ) to play music for fun, social connection, and mental wellbeing. Coffee and cake afterwards is an important part of the morning! We enjoy an eclectic mix of repertoire, from Holst to Star Wars to Stevie Wonder and relish discovering new pieces and working on our sound.
We value connections with the local community. This summer, we have entertained locals at Bands in Leeds Parks and various other events, and also held a successful stall at Kirkstall Festival. Additionally, we hold at least two more formal concerts per year, including a Christmas concert in collaboration with other local musical groups.
