Brighouse latest Morley Best of Brass attraction

The popular 'Best of Brass' concert series at Morley Town Hall continues next month with Brighouse & Rastrick Band.

Leeds Brest of Brass
  The series features leading bands in cocnert performance mode

It will be the turn of Brighouse & Rastrick Band to head to Morley Town Hall on Saturday 9th March as the latest elite level band to perform as part of the Leeds Best of Brass series.

Directed by resident conductor Ian McElligott, the Yorkshire band has announced a cracker of a programme — including works by John Ireland, Philip Wilby, Bach and Rimsky-Korsakov.

Their team of top-class soloists will include performances by Mike Eccles, Tom Smith, Bethan May, Steve Lomas and Chris Robertson.

Comedy

The traditionalist will be thrilled to hear John Ireland's quirky 'Comedy Overture' which will contrast Jim Fieldhouse's 'Nefarious'. Bach's 'Toccata in D Minor' to close the first half and Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Capriccio Espagnol' to open the second also offer two great contrasting bookends too.

All this and there is also music by James Curnow, Modest Mussorgsky, John Williams and more…
