Christmas Concerts in Cedar Park Hall at Murray Park School, Mickleover.


The Christmas Concerts will take on a slightly altered format this year. Rather than having a concert for Intermediates and Seniors separately, we will be arranging the groups into an Orchestral Concert and a Wind Band Concert as follows:

 

  • Saturday 5th December 6pm.

Youth Wind Band

Intermediate Wind Band

Sax Ensemble

Swing Band

Clarinet and Flute Ensembles

 

  • Sunday 6th December 6pm.

Senior Orchestra

Intermediate Orchestra

Senior Strings

Intermediate Strings

Recorder Ensembles

 

Performers should arrive no later than 5.30pm, in concert dress: smart black and white with festive additions where appropriate!

The cost of admission for the audience will be £4 per person, concessions £3 (senior citizens and children under school age) with tickets being available on the door. For those attending both concerts a multi ticket at £6 per person will be available. This will help to cover the cost of the hire of the hall for the evening.

We will be providing refreshments suitable to the festive occasion for a particularly small charge, and I would be very grateful if you could let Christine, or me, know if you can offer any help with serving these. Also, a raffle will be held during the events and we would be grateful for any donations of suitable raffle prizes. These can be handed to conductors at centre, left in the Music Centre Office or brought along on the day.

 

And finally, while you have your diary to hand, please note that the Gala concerts at The Assembly Rooms are on Sunday 28th March 2010.

 

We look forward to seeing you there, and thank you for your support,

Yours sincerely,
