[This event forms part of our Music Festival for 2015]

The ensemble was formed in 2012 to perform a ‘one-off’ performance for a charity event, but the members enjoyed it so much that they decided to continue the relationship and undertake more engagements.

The ensemble is led by John Hopkinson, a well-known musical director and trumpet/cornet player and comprises other highly respected players from some of the leading brass bands in the area including Grimethorpe, Brighouse and Rastrick, Yorkshire Imperial, Strata and Worsbrough Brass.

They have a wide repertoire encompassing many styles of music, often featuring solos from talented individuals.

The ensemble has appeared on two previous occasions at Wentworth Church, both of which were hugely successful. We are privileged to be able to welcome them.

Tickets cost £7 (or £6 for concessions) and are available from Wentworth Village shop, or by contacting Richard Taylor on 01709 527713.

Any unsold tickets will be  available on the door (subject to availability

Series tickets that cover all events/concerts in this year's music festival cost £25, (£23 for concessions)

The choir started in 1924 and is celebrating its 90th Anniversary. It remains one of the premier male voice choirs in the country. Over the last ten years their reputation has gone from strength to strength: over the years the choir has won over 100 awards in major competitions, including a second place in the International Eisteddford. At this year’s annual Wentworth Festival, a festival that the choir has been very privileged to be invited to and attend since its inception, the choir continues its full year of celebrations to mark this very special occasion. The members are very enthusiastic about making this year one to remember.

Thanks to Tony Jermy the musical director and Irene Hill the accompanist, the choir continues to renew and revitalise its repertoire, from Songs from the Shows to new pop chart songs, while ensuring that the “Thurnscoe Sound” remains as compelling as it ever did.

Tickets cost £7 (or £6 for concessions) and are available from Wentworth Village shop, or by contacting Richard Taylor on 01709 527713.
