More Information (B Radio is not responsible for external websites)
A kaleidoscope is bright, with changing patterns, and always joyful – and that is exactly what you can expect from our autumn concert. We are back in our local venue with good comfortable seating, easy access by public transport and plentiful parking.
So, what music do we have for you? Well, we have a lively arrangement of the Mickey Mouse March to get your toes tapping and the cheerful Entry of the Gladiators – the unmistakable theme of circus clowns everywhere – will take you straight to the big top.
For something more adventurous, Paul Hart’s Cartoon conjures up everything you might expect from a classic crazy cartoon, with the help of lots of percussion. Festivo by Edward Gregson brings a different kind of energy with exuberant, changing rhythms which we know you will love.
And for those who love a touch of the Proms, there are familiar favourites too: Wood’s Fantasia on British Sea Songs (featuring Rule Britannia) and Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March (Land of Hope and Glory). A fantastic guest singer joins us for these, bringing that unmistakable last-night-of-the-Proms party spirit into the room.
Old favourites and new discoveries come together in a concert which will definitely brighten your October evening!
Tickets are available now and can be booked through our website: www.woodleyconcertband.org.uk or by ringing our box office on 0118 211 8261.
There also free tickets through the WCB First Timers Scheme for anyone who has never been to a WCB concert before – these tickets must be booked in advance via our box office phone number.
