NEW ENGLAND BRASS BAND RECORDINGS

Conducted by Douglas Yeo

From 1998-2008, I was privileged to serve as Music Director of the New England Brass Band, a fine all-volunteer brass band in the British tradition based in the Boston area. During our 10 years together, we recorded five best-selling compact disc recordings, four of which are currently available. All of these compact discs were recorded in Boston's Symphony Hall, home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This page is the gateway to information about these four recordings including track listing, program notes, photographs and an order form. A link to the New England Brass Band's website is also provided where you can get additional information.
