I'm not really sure if brass band music counts as exactly 'classical', but my old teacher/conductor has asked me to write a review for the local paper about a concert his band are doing. It's part of the 'Festivities' so there should be a good audience etc.
I was just wondering if anyone in this group knows anything about music jounalism? Any help is good, even if it's just an opinion. It's not going to be a long piece, obviously, and I don't have all the details yet, but any pointers anyone might have would be really useful. For example, what would be the best way to start/end such a review?
Thank you

In the modern context, "classical" music means composed music for the instruments from an extended orchestra, so Brass Band music would probably count.
I would suggest you read lots of reviews of similar events to get the flavour of how they are currently written and then use the same sort of style to describe what you heard.
Since it's for the local paper nad brief, you won't get very technical. Just stick to what they played, how well they did it and how much the audience liked it and you should be OK.
Good luck!
Tom.
