Welcome to the Corsham Windband Association
The Corsham Windband Association (CWA) is a registered charity based at the Corsham Arts Centre, Pound Pill, Corsham, Wiltshire. In general, the aims of the association are to promote and foster the enjoyment of playing music with friends; promote musical proficiency and excellence; encourage social awareness and responsibility within the Association and local community. We have a membership of about 150 young musicians from Corsham and the surrounding areas in Wiltshire with ages ranging from 5 to 24 years.
It is this company of young musicians that make up 3 very individual bands that form the core of the Association.
Our latest videos
During our tour of Strasbourg, France, in February this year, we took part in 3 great concerts all on the theme of love for Saint Valentine's week. One of our members, Paul Tuckett, recorded these concerts and we will be posting a range of videos of the pieces we performed over the coming weeks.
In this one you can see 16-year-old Sam BERNALDT-ROSS playing "Can't help falling in love" (saxophone alto solo).
Can't help falling in love
CWA Strasbourg Tour
The CWA has once again completed a very successful concert tour in and around Strasbourg, France. The CWA band arrived in Strasbourg on 12th February and stayed for 5 nights at the Ciarus hostel in the centre of the town.
The musicians completed 3 concerts in front of packed audiences and appeared in three articles in the regional newspaper. They also had the time to do a walking tour of the city centre, visit the Cathedral, make a boat tour up to the European Parliament and the Council of Europe and take a bus trip down to the fairytale castle of Haut-Koenigsbourg.
