Ian Porthouse Brass Band conductor

Tredegar Brass Band
RBC Wind Orchestra & Brass Band
Enjoy a summer evening of concert band classics and feel-good favourites played with style and precision in this exciting collaboration between RBC Wind Orchestra & Brass Band and Tredegar Band. Tredegar are one of the world’s most famous bands both on and off the contesting stage. At the top of their game, and with 150 years of rich musical heritage, they are the 2025 Welsh Champions and double British Open winners.
Holst’s boisterous Jupiter: The Bringer of Jollity sits alongside his First Suite for Military Band which blends rousing patriotism with his beloved folk dance and a spirited march. Berlioz’s Roman Carnival Overture translates impressively from its orchestral original and John Williams’s Jurassic Park emerges from the opening four notes through the glorious main theme to a fitting conclusion.
Running time approx. two hours and 15 minutes
