MUSIC lovers are in for a treat on Sunday, June 21, when Evesham’s very own Avonbank Brass Band team up with the voice talents of the Hereford and South Worcester Rock Choirs to perform a variety of rock and pop classics.
Rock and Brass, staged at the Henrician from 2pm until 4pm will showcase the 25-piece band under the musical direction of Micah Parsons and the 120-strong choir, led by Jacob Ashworth.
Expect toe-tapping, sing-along hits from Earth, Wind and Fire, Keane, Sam Ryder, The Buggles, Lewis Capaldi, Queen, and much more.
The event will raise money for the Worcestershire Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and for Avonbank’s upcoming trip to the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain in York this September.
In March, the Evesham band came third out of 15 at the Midlands Regional Brass Band Championships held at the Bedworth Civic Hall.
Qualification for the national finals means that Avonbank will be competing against other top bands from the third sections across the UK.
At the time, Micah Parsons, who took over the running of the band 20 months ago, told the Observer: “It was an incredible achievement and testament to the hard work of every single member of the band.”
Next week’s event comes on the back of a sell-out concert at Evesham Town Hall in April.
See https://www.henrician.org/events/rock-and-brass/ for tickets, which cost £16 for adults and £6 for under 16s.
