Concert of Champions |
|
A concert of champions is promised at Symphony Hall on Sunday 14 September when the present British Open Champion Band, The English and National Champion Band and the European Champion Band come together on one spectacular bill with a glorious climax featuring the Cory and Black Dyke Bands performing together.
The three bands (Grimethorpe Colliery Band, Cory Band & Black Dyke Band) will play music ranging from Mozart's The Magic Flute overture, to Harry James's Trumpet Blues and Cantabile and taking in en route Bach's Air on the G String, Widor's famous organ Toccata, and ending with a new arrangement by Robert Childs of Tchaikovsky's Marche Slav played by Black Dyke and Cory together. Original brass band music will include Fletcher's popular Labour and Love, the first work commissioned by the national Brass Band Championship in 1913.
The Brass Gala Concert is part of a weekend event at Symphony Hall which also sees the British Open Brass Band Championship on Saturday 13 September.
Tickets for the Brass Gala Concert are £8.50-£19.50, available from www.thsh.co.uk or 0121 780 3333. |
