The National Children's Band of Great Britain rounds off its Summer Course later today (Friday 28th July) with a concert at The Halls in Norwich (3.00pm).

Led by guest conductor Mareika Gray and featuring percussion soloist Simone Rebello, the youngsters will showcase an ambitious programme of repertoire — including a world premiere from Belgian composer Lennert Van Laenen, as well as a 'surprise' or two.

Great week

"We have enjoyed a great week,"CEO Mark Bromley told 4BR. "Mareika has infused the players with such confidence in their own abilities and Simone has simply been an inspiration.

We've also had a great visit from the Wildlife Trusts Charity and brilliant support from roster of partners such as Besson and Ev-entz."

The theme this year is 'Rhythm' and I can assure you that everyone will be leaving with something tapping by the end of the concert — the music is brilliant and infectious!Mark Bromley

Tapping

He added: "I don't know quite how everyone has had the energy to do so much in such a short space of time, but now we are concentrating on providing a wonderful concert in Norwich.

The theme this year is 'Rhythm' and I can assure you that everyone will be leaving with something tapping by the end of the concert — the music is brilliant and infectious!"
