The second concert in the 2017 Matinee Concert Series features guests and firm friends of Leyland Band, the Lancashire Youth Brass Band.

LYBB are making their second appearance in the Matinee Concert series having made a great impression in their debut in 2016. Under the direction of Helen Minshall, LYBB will open the concert with a twenty minute solo set, and once again join Leyland on stage for the concert finale.

Leyland Band are taking the opportunity to present some of the music we will feature in Innsbruck, to our loyal local audience. Conductor Thomas Wyss has chosen a first half including some Strauss and Mozart, and some spectacular movie themes feature in the second.
