St George’s Day Celebration with Michelmersh Silver Band
23 April , 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
£5.00 – £30.00
Join us for a special St George’s Day concert at St Peter’s Church with Michelmersh Silver Band conducted by Kevin Smith. The band are locally based but nationally known, and are currently rehearsing for participation in the South West of England Regional Qualifying Contest. Given the current resurgence of interest in brass bands, we are delighted to welcome them to Stockbridge for a celebration on our national saint’s day.
With a very English flavour, the programme will include music often associated with the Last Night of the Proms.
