At a recent concert, a cheque for £1,000 was presented to the Band by the Chairman of Powys County Council, County Councillor David Meredith. The Musical Director, David Jones said that the money will be used for their future concerts in Theatr Brycheiniog in July and September. On Wednesday, the 3rd July, the Band will be performing a joint concert with the Cosmopolitan Music Society of Edmonton, Canada. The theme of the concert is music from Film and Stage. On Monday, the 30th September, the Band will be performing their ever popular "Last Night of the Proms" concert. The "PromArt" theme for this year's concert is Ibsen's Peer Gynt and the Band will be performing music that Grieg composed for the play. "PromArt" is a competition, open to all Powys school children and hopefully encourages them to listen to the music and to submit their artistic interpretation of any of the music or scenes in the play. The short listed winners will have their artwork displayed in the Andrew Lamont gallery and their work will also be projected onto a screen behind the Band whilst the music is performed. Prize winners will be presented at the end of the concert. More stories
