About Objectif Cuivres

Objectif Cuivres is a brass workshop and festival organized every summer in Buzançais by the Amicale Harmonie de Buzançais and the City of Buzançais. Created in 2016, this event welcomes musicians of all levels — trumpet, horn, trombone, and tuba — for a week of collective work, chamber music ensembles, and exchanges with professors. The week concludes with a public performance at the Buzançais town hall.

A week dedicated to brass

Objectif Cuivres is an annual musical workshop dedicated to brass instruments, organized every summer in Buzançais by the Amicale Harmonie de Buzançais and the City of Buzançais. For five days, amateur and experienced musicians — trumpeters, horn players, trombonists, and tubists — gather to work in chamber music ensembles under the guidance of experienced professors.

An educational and friendly format

The workshop takes place at the music school in Buzançais, with daily sessions from 9:30 AM to 12 PM and from 2 PM to 6 PM. Participants work in various formations — trios, quintets, and larger ensembles — and benefit from personalized exchanges with the instructors. The atmosphere is resolutely friendly, combining musical rigor with the pleasure of collective playing.

A festive closing concert

Each edition concludes with a public performance held at the Buzançais town hall. This event is an opportunity for participants to showcase the work accomplished during the week, followed by a festive moment with musical entertainment.

Ten editions of excellence

Since its creation in 2016, Objectif Cuivres has built a loyal following of passionate musicians who return year after year. The 2025 edition, the 10th, celebrated this anniversary with an original theme: "Objectif Cuivres goes to the movies," featuring film music arranged for brass ensembles.

Rooted in local musical life

Objectif Cuivres is part of Buzançais's musical tradition, supported by the Amicale Harmonie, a historic association in the town. The workshop contributes to the musical influence of the municipality alongside other events such as the Ska Buz Festival and BUZ'en Scène, making Buzançais a dynamic cultural hub in the south of Indre.
