WMC

The origins of the World Music Competition (WMC) date back to 1949 when two wind bands from the mining town of Kerkrade invited an English colliery brass band from Yorkshire – Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band – to take part in a concert.
The concert was such a success that it was decided to hold an international festival for amateur orchestras in Kerkrade, in association with a series of concerts by professional orchestras.
Over the years, the WMC has become synonymous with a spectacular music festival of the highest quality. The most important international organisations for wind and brass bands agree: the WMC in Kerkrade is the most important international festival for band music in the world.
