Trombone Spotlight at Black Dyke Festival
The Black Dyke Band Festival, supported by Geneva Instruments will take place Sunday 4th June at Huddersfield Town Hall 3.00pm. MD Prof. Nicholas Childs stated, “It’s a highlight in this year's calendar. The Festival’s become an established part of our outreach work with the chance for people to enjoy spotlight features and workshops with the band."
The day will conclude in the traditional way with a Gala Concert featuring all the participants alongside Black Dyke Band. "That's always a great way to finish off a brilliant day, especially as this year we will be performing music for everyone including the exciting opener 'Out of Reach', 'Black Dyke at the Movies' and Respighi's 'Pines of Rome'."
The Queensbury Musical Director also revealed that the second half will showcase the Yorkshire Youth Band with the entertaining 'Brass Rock' and Paul Lovatt-Cooper's 'Dreamcatchers'. Black Dyke will then be joined by the Yorkshire Youth Band, Armthorpe Elmfield, Delph, Littleborough and Murley Bands performing classics including 'Blaze Away', 'Trisch Trasch Polka', 'For the Beauty of the earth', 'Reet Petite' and 'Fire in the Blood'.
