More about XBY

Formed in 1989, XBY is made up of alumni musicians and teachers from Bromley Youth Music Trust, conducted by Dennis Mycroft with associate conductor John Hargreaves. Most of us are past members of the Bromley Youth Concert Band who now pursue careers outside music.
We perform and compete nationally and internationally, have recorded for world-renowned composers, and play regularly for audiences at home in Bromley.
