We had a brilliant evening working through an exciting and wide-ranging programme – from the timeless brilliance of Vivaldi to the swing of Duke Ellington, alongside iconic music from John Williams and John Miles. There’s something truly special about bringing together such diverse styles as we prepare for a busy and exciting concert season ahead.

We’re looking forward to two upcoming performances:
📍 Deal Memorial Bandstand – 3rd May (opening the Summer Season)

Tickets for the festival concert will be available from 9th April via the Deal Music & Arts Festival website:

This promises to be a rousing evening from National Brass Band Championships award winners, featuring a vibrant mix of brass band favourites, rock anthems from Freddie Mercury to The Rolling Stones, and popular classics by Holst, Vivaldi and Rimsky-Korsakov. A colourful, high-energy programme that will appeal to all generations!

Shostakovich – Festival Overture
Karl Jenkins – Palladio
Paul Lovatt-Cooper – With His First Breath (cornet solo)
