Two Rivers Concert Band will present their 2024 summer concert at Ilkley Baptist Church on Sunday, July 14 at 8pm.
Their programme will transport you to the Wild West with the Theme from The Big Country, to New York with a selection of music from West Side Story, to the Caribbean, virtual reality and even The Underworld.
Musical Director Gregory Moor said: “The band have been working really hard on this programme. It’s varied and entertaining and we’ve been having a lot of fun rehearsing it.”
Tickets cost £10 and are available on line at www.tworiversbands.org.uk, from Grove Bookshop in Ilkley or on the door. There is no charge for under 16s.
There will be free refreshments in the interval with treats baked at home by band members and a charity collection in aid of The Swan Song Project.
This Leeds based charity gives people planning the end stages of their lives and those surrounding them the opportunity to write and record their own original song. A professional songwriter provides support to guide each person, through finding the initial idea to the completed recording. No previous musical experience or abilities are required.
Two Rivers Bands chair Les Goldman said: “We recently decided to concentrate our fund raising efforts on raising money for one local charity and our members have chosen to support the amazing work of the Swan Song Project. We have already raised over £200 for them with recent bandstand performances and we hope that our summer concert will raise much more.”
