THE award winning Bournemouth Concert Brass, return to Regent Centre in Christchurch with their annual New Year Viennese Concert on Sunday 8 January at 3.00 pm.
The Band’s resident conductor, Bill Willis, is in charge of the baton for the afternoon. Bill has been with the Band since 1993 and has written some of the arrangements for this year’ concert.
The warm, burnished brass sound of the Strauss family and their famous Viennese waltzes, polkas and marches are guaranteed to blow away any winter blues.
Following Strauss favourites like the Blue Danube and the Radetsky March, other highlights of this perennially popular concert will include pieces by other famous composers who worked in Vienna at the time, including Franz Lehar and Mozart
Bournemouth Concert Brass are undoubtedly one of the top bands in Britain today – a tribute to their long and distinguished history. The Band was formerly called The Bournemouth Silver Band, which was born at the turn of the century in Boscombe and Southbourne.
The Band is former winner of the West of England Championship and have been finalists at the National Brass Band Championships at the Albert Hall. They are also past winners of the prestigious Milton Keynes and Reading Brass Band Festivals.
