Mill Creek Colliery Band Concert
‘Proms Celebration’
Friday, May 4th, 7:30pm
Saturday, May 5th, 7:30pm
The Mill Creek Colliery Band wishes to celebrate it’s fifth anniversary with you by presenting a brassy salute to the Proms. There will be two performances of our “Proms Celebration” concert: Friday, May 4th, 7:30pm and Saturday, May 5th, 7:30pm, both at Convocation Hall (University of Alberta, Arts Building).
Edmonton’s own 28-piece, British-style brass band will celebrate its fifth anniversary music with an exciting concert that will delight all ages. The varied program will include The Kingdom Triumphant (Ball), Gaelforce (Graham), Celebratory Overture (Norbury), The Last Spring (Grieg, arr. Steadman-Allen) and Penny Lane (Lennon/McCartney). Soloists will include Chris Diaper (euphonium) on Brilliante (Graham), Ivan Mast (trombone) on Bolivar (Cook/Ashmore) and David Langor and Dan Skepple (cornet) on Quicksilver (Graham). Of course, the regular Proms favourites - Jerusalem, Pomp and Circumstance, and Fantasy on British Sea Songs will be featured and the audience can sing along with these well-loved tunes. Audience members are encouraged to bring flags, hats, etc. to help set a party atmosphere reminiscent of the Last Night of the Proms.
The band will be led by resident conductor, Dr. Malcolm Forsyth, and Sir Francis Price will be our compére.
