    Description: A Celebration Concert of Brass and Voices
    Our Celebration Concert of Brass and Voices features a powerful, rich and stirring repertoire specially designed to showcase the sensational acoustics of Halifax Minster. The programme is dedicated to the music of John Rutter and Philip Wilby. Wilby and Rutter are two of our greatest and most prolific living English composers; both are still creating tuneful and accessible music in their 70s. This concert will feature a Brass and Percussion ensemble, led by trombone virtuoso Brett Baker, and organist Darius Battiwalla. We are also fortunate to offer the chance to hear from Philip Wilby himself, prior to the performance, making this a thrilling and memorable Autumn evening.
    The pre-concert talk will begin at 6:00 pm
