On Tuesday 9th September 2025 intrepid short Trumpeter James Stretton will be walking the gruelling 24 up & down miles of the Yorkshire Three Peaks. His mission is to raise funds to support the growth of music education in South India, with a special focus on encouraging the take-up of brass instruments in schools.

Your generous contributions will help fund the visit of the English Brass Collective to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka in January 2026. While the talented members of this group are graciously donating their professional services free of charge, we need your support to cover essential costs such as airfares and visas. The schools we are visiting will generously provide accommodation and internal travel, but we cannot achieve our goal without your help.

We aim to raise sufficient funds to make this dream a reality. Together, we can inspire young minds and encourage the growth of Brass Music in India.
