King's Park Brass

King’s Park Brass will be in concert in Cathcart Church, on Friday 20th March, with special guests Wee Sing Choir.

The band’s programme will start with James Curnow’s Fanfare and Flourishes, which includes Charpentier’s Te Deum Prelude, perhaps most famously heard as a theme to Eurovision.

Next we’ll feature the well-known hymn tune Blaenwern – Love Divine All Loves Excelling – with an arrangement by Glaswegian Kenneth Downie.

A trip to the theatre will follow, and the song For Good from the musical Wicked, sung  towards the end of the show by Elphaba and Glinda, and in our version featuring two of the band’s cornet players.

Then comes the major work of the evening – Paul Lovatt-Cooper’s Dark Side of the Moon. This is an original piece of brass band music, a mysterious piece depicting the composer’s imagination of a trip to this unvisited place.

After this journey to the dark side, what better way to finish than with Arthur Kent’s Bring Me Sunshine, made famous by Morecambe and Wise!

The concert takes place in Cathcart Church, Clarkston Road, on Friday 20th March at 7:30pm. Tickets on the door will be priced £8, concession £7, kids free.
