B:Music which hosts events at Birmingham's Symphony Hall and Town Hall venues has announced its continued support for a host of brass attractions later this year — with the promise of a special announcement in 2025 to come.
Diverse concerts and events
Spokesperson told 4BR: "We are thrilled to be able to host these diverse brass concerts and events — from the big band brilliance of Mike Lovatt and friends to the incredible contesting battle at the British Open and the more relaxing family music making on our 'Brass in a Day' 24 hours later.
The combination of Dana and Grimethorpe Colliery Band is sure to be a festive treat and we will be building on that with a special announcement for 2025 in the next 24 hours — so keep your eyes peeled!"
Lovatt, Sinatra and Fitzgerald
It will all start on Thursday 8th August at Birmingham Town Hall with Mike Lovatt's Brass Pack.
The trumpet star will be joined by vocalists Louise Clare Marshall and Matt Ford for 'Let's Get Together' — a celebration of the great stars Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.
It follows on from the success of two sell out concerts by the 'Brass Pack' at the Harrogate Festival and Snape Maltings and brings the unique sound of the 'big band' into the heart of Brum.
