Spring concert by the Derby Concert Band, a vibrant wind band piece about flight and holiday travel.
Derby Concert Band are playing St Werburgh's Church on Saturday 13 March 2027, with the concert starting at 7:30pm. It's titled Come Fly With Me, and the band describes it as a vibrant wind band concert that takes the audience on a high-flying sonic journey.
The programme is built around two contrasting moods: the exhilarating themes of flight and the relaxing joy of a holiday getaway. It's a wind band on the stage, so you'll have a full section of brass and woodwind carrying the melodies, with the percussion holding the rhythm underneath. The flight side of things suggests the more energetic, sweeping stuff, while the holiday side leans into the slower, more laid-back pieces. Between the two, the band is aiming for a set that moves from one to the other rather than sticking to just one gear.
