December 1 – Orillia Silver Band: Sleigh Bells and Brass
The Orillia Silver Band celebrates the holiday season with its traditional Sleighbells and Brass Christmas Concert. The concert takes place on Sunday, December 01, 2024, 2:00 pm at the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts in Parry Sound.
The Orillia Silver Band has enjoyed a long-standing tradition of providing concerts of holiday music in Parry Sound. “We have a wonderful selection of Christmas season favourites to offer this year!” says Neil Barlow, the band’s Music Director and Conductor.
Among the items to be performed during the concert are a stirring rendition of Joy to the World arranged by William Himes, Norman Bearcroft’s happy Fantasia on the Sussex Carol, Philip Rayment’s exciting The City of David, andthe sparkling work A Great and Mighty Wonder by Kenneth Downie.
The band’s own Sarah Hemeon will be featured as Soprano Cornet soloist on Stephen Bulla’s arrangement of O Holy Night. Also included is a setting of a traditional French carol called Noel Nouvelet by Canadian Kevin Norbury. The concert will feature a wonderful arrangement of the traditional The Holly and the Ivy, as well as some engaging music for the Hannukah season.
And it wouldn’t be a Silver Band Christmas concert without an audience-request sing-a-long. So come prepared to exercise your vocal skills with your favourite Christmas carols.
Please don’t miss this wonderful concert of holiday festivity!
