Beckenham Concert Band and their special guests, The Choir of the Royal Free Music Society, present “An Evening of Music for Choir and Concert Band” in aid of ‘The Cancer Centre at Guy’s’. The programme includes music from ‘Grease’, The Blues Brothers’, ‘Les Miserables’ ‘Frank Sinatra’ and much more.
The Concert on Saturday 24 June 2017 at St Barnabas Church, Perth Road Beckenham, is free with a retiring collection in aid of the charity. Doors open at 7:00 for a 7:30 start.
” The Beckenham Concert Band has partnered with Choir of The Royal Free Music Society for several concerts on both sides of the Thames. This time we come together to enjoy making music and to raise funds for the Cancer Centre at Guy’s Hospital which brings cancer care under one roof, and whose vision is to be “a world leader in caring for people with cancer – continuously innovating to improve the lives of our patients”.”
The Beckenham Concert Band was founded in 1977 by the late Ken Messenger and is a community band performing in the Borough of Bromley and throughout London and the South East. 2017 is their 40th anniversary year and over that time they have raised many thousands of pounds for local and national charities. The Band’s Musical Director is Dwight Pile-Grey and membership ranges from school students to those who have retired.
