Sound the trumpet – and the horns, trombones and tuba! An evening of melodies you love, from Bach to Broadway, presented with a fanfare by the fabulous brass players of the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Who doesn’t feel a thrill at the sound of brass instruments? From the grandest pageantry to the most jubilant celebration; whether they’re raising the roof or making the heart glow with quiet emotion, there’s no music that can’t be played by a great brass section, and the BBC Concert Orchestra has one of the best in the business – players who know how to swing as well as shine.
Tonight they take the spotlight in a concert packed with melody: majestic classics by Elgar and Bach, showstoppers by Gershwin and Sondheim and tuneful British favourites old and new, as well as a very special tribute to our much-loved, much-missed former chief conductor Bramwell Tovey. With music spanning two continents and four centuries, expect stirring fanfares, toe-tapping melodies and sounds to make your heart leap, as a brass ensemble from BBC Concert Orchestra comes to Great Yarmouth in a blaze of glory.

Norfolk Music Hub in partnership with Norfolk County Council’s Holiday Activity Fund are delighted to bring two music-making opportunities to Norfolk during the Easter holidays!
Music Makers and Body Shakers!
For young people aged between 5 and 16
Wednesday 3rd April – Thursday 4th April 2024. You need to attend both days
The 2 days aim to bring young people from across Norfolk together to engage in musical opportunities including singing, movement and dancing.
The first day is for young people who have not previously attended a Music Tech session with Norfolk Music Hub and are Music Tech beginners. The second day is for those with previous Music Tech experience or who have previously attended a Music Tech course with Norfolk Music Hub.
These workshop days aim to bring young people from across Norfolk with an interest in Music Technology together to learn to use a professional Digital Audio Workstation, Logic Pro X, to create an electronic music track. We will look at arrangement, sequencing, editing, mixing and production, and students will be able to take home their finished tracks as an mp3 file.
There are only 10 spaces available each day so please do not delay in registering.
