Tutti! is a Community Concert Band based in West Leeds, UK. The band provides an exciting opportunity for musicians of all ages and abilities to discover the pleasure of playing in a group.

 

We are a community band, formed in 2018 by musical director Joelle Braithwaite, with the goal of supporting people in West Leeds to make music together and to support their mental health and wellbeing through music. The band is made up of around 30 members, of all ages and musical experience.

​

In October 2025 the band entered an exciting new chapter, with the appointment of a new Musical Director Tricia Moores. Tricia is an experienced MD who has worked with concert bands throughout West Yorkshire, and brings a passionate and continuing commitment to community music. The band look forward to working with her and making music together. 

​

The band plays a wide variety of music taken from many genres such as TV and film themes, big band classics as well as classical pieces and folk songs.

​

We also have a welcome band called Prima! led by Joelle Braithwaite, supporting new or less experienced musicians to build their confidence playing together. Joelle has also recently set up an Instrument Beginners Course, for players starting from scratch to learn and instrument and play music. Click here for more information on the welcome band, and here for the beginners course.

​

The bands have both hosted their own concerts over the years, and played at local events such as the Cookridge Scarecrow Festival and the Kirkstall Festival.

Both Tutti and Prima currently rehearse at Bramley St Peters Church, Hough Lane Bramley, Leeds LS13 3NF.
