Familiar Face to Lead Granite City Brass into a New Season

Alan Haggart with Granite City Brass - Saturday 28th June 2025

Granite City Brass is delighted to announce that Alan Haggart, MA, LTCL has taken up the role of Musical Director.

Alan is no stranger to the role, having previously conducted the band several times during the 1990s, 2000s, and early 2010s. A long-standing member, he is well known to players and audiences alike — both for his performances on soprano cornet and his deep connection to the band’s musical identity. His 2025 appointment brings a strong sense of continuity and renewed creative energy.

Away from Granite City Brass, Alan is a familiar face on the Aberdeen music scene. He performs with ensembles including Aberdeen Sinfonietta, the Blue Lamp Big Band, and the Aberdeen Bach Choir, and teaches brass across city schools through Aberdeen City Council’s instrumental music service.

The band is excited to be working under Alan’s baton and looks forward to the musical journey ahead.
