Join us as we celebrate 25 years of fantastic community music with the concert to top all concerts!
We're looking for as many musicians as possible to join The Modelski Concert Orchestra and/or Big Band to put on an exciting programme of music, hand-picked by Jan Modelski.
All instruments and abilities are welcome; although some of the pieces chosen are challenging, there will be items on the programme which will be accessible to all players. Don't hesitate to send us a message if you're unsure about how you can get involved.
The concert will be followed by a huge party - with a slap-up street food feast included in the price of your ticket - to give everyone the chance to let their hair down and celebrate. There'll also be a fully licensed bar onsite for those who fancy a tipple!
Tickets for participants cost £10.
NB Participants wishing to play for both ensembles only need to purchase one ticket.
