February Update

We've had a busy few weeks at rehearsals since Christmas, including a full day of rehearsing new pieces. This was a first for the band and enabled us to focus on mastering challenging new works and allow band members time to socialise with each other during the longer rest breaks. A few family members of the band also joined us for the last hour to listen to the music we had been rehearsing.

Which now brings me to news of our Spring concert! 

Entitled 'Atlantic Rhapsody', the evening will include music from both British and American composers. Graham Tear will be finalising the program and we'll be sharing that with you all soon. 

NMPAT Community Choir will also be joining us for this concert. NMPAT Community Choir were formed in the Autumn of 2015 and gave their first public performance with NCB at our Christmas Concert 2015 to a sell out audience. This choir, formed of adults of all ages and abilities, is also directed by Graham Tear.

Graham has been putting the band through its paces during rehearsals. We've dusted off John William's "The Cowboys"; the opening music from the film of the same name.
Here is the overture performed live in 2013 by the Boston Pops.
We hope to perform this at one of our forthcoming concerts later in the year.
