On Saturday 12th July, the Two Rivers Concert Band will hold its Summer Coffee Concert in Ilkley Baptist Church, taking the audience on another musical adventure!
A spokesperson for the band said:
"Under the baton of our musical director, Gregory Moor, we embark on another musical adventure! Starting traditionally with Mother Goose, a playful march by Sousa, we get our skates on for a selection from Starlight Express, our nod to a Great British transport bicentenary.
"After the energetic start to our concert, we drift into a turbulent night’s sleep with Lucid Dreams. This original concert band piece, by American composer Adrian B Sims, pulls the listener into an imaginary musical dreamscape where hallucinations and reality swirl together at the boundary between sleep and conscious. Then we are off on our travels again, with some highlights from South Pacific followed by the classic 1970s TV theme to Hawaii-five-O.
"The pace then slows briefly, with a celebration of French village life in Aunis et Saintonge en Fete, before we turn up the heat and step back into the 1970s with a Bee Gees medley from Saturday Night Fever. Bring your dancing shoes and feel free to brush off your inner disco diva; white suits and open shirts entirely optional! Then there’s one last treat in store with our rollicking fantasy finale, when we show you How to Train Your Dragon!"
The doors open early, at 10:30am, to give you a chance to grab a drink and sample the lovely home baking. The concert starts at 11.15am.
As part of the Ilkley Live event, the concert is free, however for those who would like to make a donation, there will be a collection on behalf of the band's charity for the year, The Swan Song Project.
This small Leeds based charity gives people planning the end stages of their lives and those surrounding them the opportunity to write and record their own original song. This musical celebration of life brings comfort and joy, leaving a legacy that helps loved-ones as they deal with bereavement.

The spokesperson adds:
"If you have never heard us before, this is a great chance to give us a listen for free. If you enjoy the event, you can even join our emailing list so that you get notification of our future concerts. We look forward to welcoming our friends, old and new, to the concert."
