Celebrating the music of Goff Richards at Truro Cathedral with Massed Bands & Choirs
7.30pm on Saturday 29th October 2011.
Over three hundred Cornish musicians will be coming together on October 29th in Truro Cathedral to Celebrate the Music of Goff Richards. Dr Richards, who passed away on 25th June, was born in St Minver, North Cornwall and enjoyed a world wide reputation for his large output of accessible and enjoyable music.
He was particularly noted for his music for brass bands and choirs and the Celebration Concert will feature a selection of his best known pieces, conducted by Guest Conductors who have worked with him over the years. The Cornish Federation of Male Voice Choirs is assembling a representative Choir of two hundred voices from amongst its twenty five member choirs and in addition four Cornish Brass Bands will come together form a massed Band.
As well as separate Band and Choir items the combined forces will join together for several pieces. Full details of the participants will be released shortly.
Tickets are now available through the Hall for Cornwall Box Office, 01872-262466, at £10 unreserved, plus a booking fee.
