The event led by Entrust Music Service Staffordshire will see the ensembles and combined choirs each perform individual items before joining forces for a massed finale.

Fantastic opportunity

Paul Hughes of Entrust Music Services told 4BR: "This concert represents a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the vibrant musical landscape within Staffordshire, bringing together world-class brass banding with the passionate voices of our local community choirs for an unforgettable collaborative performance."

Voices

The voices consist of Alsager Community Choir, Dougie Mac Choir, Endon Community Choir, Fulford Community Choir, Ovation — Staffordshire County Council Workplace Choir and Stafford Military Wives Choir Programme.

They will be led by Dan Hollingshurst, a vocal coach and teacher working for Entrust Music Service Staffordshire and City Music Service (Stoke-on-Trent).
