We held our first Femmes Fortissimo concert on Saturday 28th April 2018 at Southlands Methodist Church, Bishopthorpe Road, York. A brass band of “forty feisty women” whose planned debut during York International Women’s Week was postponed because of bad weather performed their rescheduled concert on Saturday 28 April in York. The players, who came from different brass bands across York as well as from North and East Yorkshire, were conducted by Sue Sykes, music director of York Concert Band. The concert celebrated York International Women’s Week theme “Making Women’s Voices Heard” and marked the centenary of the first women to get the vote in the UK.
