Save the Date! Lancaster British Brass Band
The Lancaster British Brass Band, now in their 11th year of existence, will be performing at Church of the Apostles on Thursday, August 6 at 7:00 p.m. Known as an extremely popular musical ensemble within the Central Pennsylvania Region, the group consists of a fixed 28-piece instrumentation that is often said to sound like a “magnificent pipe organ.”
The repertoire for this concert will include: Symphonic Highlights from “Frozen,” arranged by Stephen Bulla, Hometown Miniatures by Drew Fennell, With Clouds Descending by Philip Sparke, and the featured composition for the evening, Windows of the World by Peter Graham. “Windows of the World” was commissioned by The Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) Band. Peter Graham will take the audience first to Latin America, then to Japan and onwards to Saharan Africa. We get a gentle reprieve via a nostalgic hint of the British Isles before we land in the melting pot of all styles, the USA. In this final section, the driving swing section is abruptly stopped and a drum cadenza leads us back into the opening Latin music.
There is no cost for the concert, however, there will be a free-will offering taken during intermission. Reserved seating is not available, so please arrive early to secure your seat. You can find more details about the Lancaster British Brass Band at www.LancasterBBB.org.
