Newstead Brass are set to give the premiere of ‘A Nottinghamshire Suite’ as part of a concert for the International Byron Festival in Hucknall tonight (June 4th).
The piece has been composed by band member Andrew Stevenson and depicts ‘Sherwood Forest’, ‘War of the Roses’ and ‘Newstead Abbey’.
A band spokesman commented, “The Byron Festival seems a very apt opportunity to premiere Andrew’s first extended work for the band, particularly as Newstead Abbey was Byron’s family home."
The concert is being held in the Lovelace Theatre within the John Godber Centre on Ogle Street in Hucknall, commencing at 7.30 pm and tickets cost £5 each.
The concert comes at a busy time for Newstead Brass, which was recently placed fifth in the ‘All England Masters International Brass Band Championships’. Next week (June 9th to 11th) the band will appear with Mansfield Community Theatre in ‘Brassed Off’ at the Mansfield Palace Theatre. Performances take place at 7.30 pm each evening with a matinee on Saturday afternoon. Contact the box office on 01623 633133 for ticket details.
