National Champion Black Dyke Band kick-off their 2024 concert season this weekend with an appearance at the Leeds Best of Brass series at Morley Town Hall (Saturday 13th January: 7.30pm).
Full programme
The Queensbury band has confirmed the full programme which will include their usual mix of serious and easy listening repertoire — including 'Kenilworth' by Arthur Bliss and the finale from Dvorak's 'New World Symphony', as well as Eric Ball's 'Star Lake' march.
Soloists Richard Marshall, Stephanie Binns, Adam Bokaris, Siobhan Bates, Brett Baker, Gareth Hand and Connor Lennon are all featured, as our the popular entertainment items that take in the 'James Bond Suite', as well as PLC fizzers.
Fantastic audience
Black Dyke Director of Music Prof Nicholas Childs told 4BR: "It's aways great to start the new year with a concert appreciated by a fantastic audience — and that is what we always get at Morley.
There is something for everyone — from the wonderful classic test-piece 'Kenilworth' to our James Bond tribute, and I'm also making sure our soloists are all put under the spotlight. We look forward to welcoming new Pondasher fans too!"
