We are saddened to hear of the passing of our Patron Geoffrey Brand, who died last Sunday, aged 96.

Geoffrey was a renowned composer and conductor who has served as a trustee and Patron of the PRS Members’ Fund.

Doyen of brass and concert band music and publishing, he was a delightful gentleman who leaves a terrific musical legacy. He will be remembered as a brilliant conductor and an imaginative musical entrepreneur. His live performances and rehearsals inspired players and audiences throughout the world and his outstanding recordings will continue to do so.
