There are now only limited tickets left to enjoy the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain Easter concerts at Leyburn on Saturday 11th April, and the RNCM in Manchester on Saturday 18th April.
Snapped up
The Leyburn Concert at The Gardens Rooms at Tennants (DL8 5SG) starts at 5.00pm and there has already been a great demand.
Family, friends and brass band supporters can look forward to hearing the current crop of talented youngsters perform under the baton of guest conductor, Prof Nicholas Childs with guest soloist Mike Cavanagh.
The band will perform for a second time at the RNCM in Manchester (M13 9RD) at 6.00pm on Saturday 18th April where the audience will once again have the opportunity to enjoy a programme entitled, 'New Horizons'.
World premiere
Both concerts will feature the world premiere of 'Suite for Brass' by Andrea Price, inspired by the humour of comedian Victoria Wood and her own life-long love of brass band music. The Black Dyke Band once appeared in an episode of her comedy series 'Dinnerladies'.
Mike will also showcase Peter Graham's 'Concerto for Baritone', plus there will be works from the pens of Paul Lovatt-Cooper, Bruce Broughton and Edward Gregson.
