Adam Rappa
  The brilliant trumpet sensation Adam Rappa is in London — and you can get to see him in action for free today

The Bands of the Household Division are currently hosting their very own musical festival — headlined by the amazing trumpet sensation Adam Rapa.

Yesterday Adam performed alongside the Guards Big Band in a tribute concert to Buddy Rich and Ella Fitzgerald, and today (28th June) he will be working round the clock with Guards Brass in a not to be missed Brass Explosion!

Open Rehearsal

There will be an open rehearsal from 10.00am to midday followed by a Masterclass from 2.00pm to 4.00pm culminating with a gala concert at 7.00pm.

During the evening concert Guards Brass will be joined by the superb Surrey Brass. Together both ensembles will entertain the audience with Adam in what will surely be an exhilarating experience.

More experiences

The music festival continues throughout the week with a live cinematic experience being presented on the evening of the 1st of July in a Commemoration of the Battle of the Somme.

All events are free of charge and take place in the Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks, Birdcage Walk, London, SW1E6HQ.

There will be an open rehearsal from 10.00am to midday (Wednesday 28th June) followed by a Masterclass from 2.00pm to 4.00pm culminating with a gala concert at 7.00pm.
