MUSIC sensation is set for Moe Town Hall on November 15.
Bringing in a collaboration from Latrobe Community Concert Band (LCCB), Morwell Citizens Band, West Gippsland Concert Band, and local saxophone sensation Saxsation, attendees can relax for free to the combined performance of the four bands.
Starting at 2pm, the bands will perform familiar pieces and other songs, waltzing the crowd into a musical escape.
“It’s great to have this free concert, because hopefully people come and say, ‘I might want to come and join our band’,” LCCB’s Kerry de Vent told the Express.
Each band will play a set and later perform as a combined band, featuring brass, woodwinds, and percussion. All the bands are full of musicians at all levels and ages, sharing a wide variety of instruments.
Alongside the performance, Ms de Vent said that if people would like to try instruments, they can come along to band practices. The LCCB has instruments available to lend at no cost.
“If they feel like something, they can come and borrow an instrument; we cater for beginners,” she said.
“We play a range of different music, starting from really beginners up to quite intermediate level. For a new musician, just come along, have a listen and have a go. We don’t discriminate based on ability. If you have just learnt how to play a few notes, come along.”
Throughout the year, the bands also perform at various events, including the traditional Christmas performances.
For passionate listeners, an earlier session of the collaboration is also playing at Yarragon Public Hall this Saturday (November 8) at 2pm.
