Concert
at The Monastery, Sunday 21st March - Please come and support the band
Please
come and support both the Junior Band and Youth Band at this venue, which has been
listed alongside the Taj Mahal and Pompeii as one of the 100 most endangered
sites in the world. This concert
replaces the annual spring concert, so come along and bring your friends and
family with you. We really need a full house for what will be a truly amazing
event for the band.
Don’t
miss this opportunity to hear both the Youth and Junior Bands perform in one of
the world’s greatest buildings, right on your doorstep in Manchester. Read all about the fascinating history of
this magnificent building, its decline and restoration at http://www.themonastery.co.uk/Our-History.html.
The
performance begins at 2.00pm.

concessions.
