concerts | 30th October 2019
The Triangle Brass Band is pleased present the Cory Band, the world’s top ranked brass band for the past 12 years and current European Champions. After a stellar, sold-out performance in 2016, Cory returns to Raleigh’s Meymandi Concert Hall in one of only four US stops on their 2019 tour. Under their charismatic Musical Director Philip Harper, Cory delivers performances that are wonderfully entertaining and offers music that everyone can enjoy. You do not want to miss this concert!
The programme tonight will be everything you expect from this world-leading band, and much more. Cory will perform its award-winning Romeo and Juliet set, retelling William Shakespeare’s famous tragic tale like you’ve never heard it before, taking you on a roller-coaster ride of the senses which will make you laugh and make you cry, but most of all will leave you speechless with awe at Cory’s blistering performance. On top of that, Cory will also perform Hermann Pallhuber’s Titan’s Progress, an epic brass band major work based on Mahler’s 1st Symphony which Cory will have played at the UK National Finals at London’s Royal Albert Hall just a few weeks beforehand. If you want to hear the best band in the world primed and contest-ready, this will be the piece for you!
The concert finale will see the Triangle Brass Band joining forces with Cory to present a memorable close to this special night. Book early to avoid disappointment – to repeat: this concert sold-out in 2016!
