‘Music from Stage and Screen’ to feature in performance by Bury St Edmunds Concert Band
Bury St Edmunds Concert Band will be performing “Music from Stage and Screen” with their new director of music Rob Wicks as part of a fundraiser at the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, this coming Sunday, May 14.
Starting at 7.30pm, the concert will take audiences on a journey through some of the most well-known and recognisable themes from films and TV, and popular stage classics.
The band rehearses at Christ Church, Moreton Hall, with members ranging from their early 20’s to retirees.
Audiences can expect to enjoy tunes like “SkyFall”, “Disney at the Oscars”, “Chicago”, “Toy Story”, “West Side Story” and “Frozen” along with some other spectacular numbers on the night in the town’s 203-year-old theatre.
Rob has worked in many areas of the country with a wide range of performers, from professional companies to award-winning amateur societies.
He has worked as a conductor, singing coach, musical director and a musician including several regional premieres.
As a musician he played with many of the local concert bands and orchestras in Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire and moved with his family to Suffolk in 2023.
Proceeds from the evening will help to support the non-profit Bury St Edmunds Concert band and Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds.
