Concert band anniversary

THIS year marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Derwent Valley Concert Band and the celebrations come to New Norfolk this Saturday, September 21, when the band will take part in the inaugural Derwent Valley Festival of Arts in the New Norfolk War Memorial Hall.

Next month the band will present a gala anniversary concert at the Farrall Centre at the Friends’ School, Hobart. To be held on October 26, this will be a wonderful evening of music-making with many past players returning especially for the concert. The music to be performed will represent pieces that have been significant in the band’s history. Entry to this concert will be free.
