Celebrate the Holiday Season with the Orillia Silver Band!
Sleighbells and Brass Christmas Concert
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!
