The Cory Band
Brass Band Concert division
Bio
Hailing from the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, UK, the Cory Band is a world
renowned musical group that has made a name for itself with its exceptional
performances. A multi Grand Slam champion, Cory Band has won many major
contesting awards, including the European, British Open, National Championships
of Great Britain, and Brass in Concert, making it one of the most successful
contesting bands of the 21st century. For an unprecedented 16 years, from 2007 to
2023, the band held the coveted title of the world's number one ranked band. In
2016, they became the first band in history to hold all four titles – National, Open,
European, and Brass in Concert – simultaneously, putting them in the history
books. This is an achievement that they repeated again in 2019. Originally known
as 'Ton Temperance', the band was formed in 1884. In 1895, Sir Clifford Cory, the
local colliery owner, offered financial assistance, resulting in the band's name
change to Cory. Since 2012, the band has been conducted by Philip Harper. During
that time the band has also toured Australia, USA, and South Korea. Cory Band is
proud performing artist for Besson Musical Instruments, Adams Percussion and
Rath Trombones.
