Sandwich Town Hall To Host 30-Piece New England Brass Band

As the second concert in the third season of the “Village Concert Series” presented by the Sandwich Arts Alliance, the New England Brass Band will be performing at Sandwich Town Hall on Saturday, November 18th at 7 pm.

Founded in 1988, this 30-piece brass and percussion ensemble adheres to the instrumentation of the “British Brass Band” tradition, which has its roots in the social betterment of the working classes in early 19th century England.

Featured on WGBH and described as “British Music from the Time of Downton Abbey” the New England Brass Band will appeal to a wide cross section of music lovers.

The flugelhorn, repiano cornet and euphonium are just some of the unusual brass instruments of the period that will be featured during the concert and should be of interest to music students of all ages.
