The Burdekin Brass Band will ignite the Burdekin Theatre for an afternoon overflowing with music and local talent on Sunday 4 August from 2pm.
The Burdekin Brass Live performance will encompass 18 – 20 members of the local Burdekin Brass Band, 12 members originating from bands within the schools of the region, and 26 Thuringowa Brass members.
Together the group of talented, experienced and beginner musicians will perform a celebrated selection of music everyone will know and love with both the Burdekin and Thuringowa Brass Bands combining for a final performance to close the night.
In an exciting sneak peek, Burdekin Brass Band member, Madison Robinson, shared an insight into what audiences can expect from the spectacular showcase.
“We can’t give away all our secrets, but I can let you know that there will be some big hits from the likes of Freddy Mercury, John Denver, and The Proclaimers – so if you want to hear some great music from the decades, make sure you clear the calendar to attend on 4 August,” Madison enthused.
With approximately 46 talented musicians set to impress audiences, the 2024 performance of Burdekin Brass Live will include numerous rising stars, and lifelong members all led by the celebrated conductor, Kerry Flynn.
Cornet player, Joe Giddy has been a member of the Burdekin Brass Band for almost 30 years, and his dedication is shared by long-time members, Ray Petersen, and former education music teacher and member of the Navy Band, Leon Stucus.
The August performance will also stage the talents of many rising stars within the band including Jye Ravizza, Cecilia Cason, and David Kelly who have all attended several Queensland Band Associations Youth Camps and developed their skills from beginners to soloists.
Over the past few months, the musicians have been busily preparing and rehearsing with the support of the Burdekin Brass Band’s dedicated volunteers working tirelessly behind the scenes. Recently, rehearsals have been scheduled weekly to ensure each piece will be performed to perfection.
“The band have been rehearsing the songs weekly now, making sure everything is perfect for the concert as its just around the corner – every rehearsal counts now as we count down to the big performance,’ shared Madison.
Each year, the concert continues to reach new heights, and each member of the band are more than excited to put on an amazing performance for the community. Tickets are available both online on the Burdekin Theatre’s website and via the Burdekin Theatre Box Office.
