Festival roots
The Festival stated: "We are delighted that the world's most famous brass band returns to Harrogate with a programme featuring well-known film music with a focus on science and space and with a nod to the Festivals' roots in the 1960s."
Looking forward
Black Dyke Director of Music, Prof Nicholas Childs, who will also give a pre-concert talk added: "We are looking forward to our appearance at the Harrogate International Festival where the programme promises to include music for everyone.
We will provide classics including Holst's 'Jupiter' and Shostakovich's 'Festive Overture' alongside Edward Gregson's remarkable 'Cornet Concerto' — played by the incomparable Richard Marshall."
