Mayor To Host Charity Concert to Celebrate Queen's Sapphire Jubilee

April 25, 2017

To mark the Queen’s Sapphire Jubilee, Councillor Brian Bloomfield MBE, Mayor of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council will host a celebration charity concert at the Island Hall, Lagan Valley Island on Thursday 4th May.

The Mayor’s Charity Concert will feature Dynamic Brass, a Lisburn based brass band established in 2013, which has musicians of all ages from the local community and beyond, along with the Naomi Orr School of Dance and Ballymacash Primary School Choir.

Throughout the evening there will be various styles and themes of music to take the audience through the Queen’s reign, from marches to hymns, pop songs to traditional music as well as solos and celebration anthems. 

Master of Ceremonies for the evening is the ever popular Gary Wilson who will give the audience a flavour of life and culture during the Queen’s reign and provide context behind the choice of music along the way.  It will be a very interactive evening and the audience will be encouraged to sing and clap – at all the right places.

The Mayor said: “I am delighted to host this charity event to mark the Queen’s Sapphire Jubilee and in aid of the charity Tiny Life.  It will be a fantastic evening with a real sense of occasion, bringing together the remarkable talents of our local musicians from Dynamic Brass, the Naomi Orr School of Dance and the choir of Ballymacash Primary School.  This is an evening where everyone will leave feeling much better than when they arrived.  I would encourage you all to get your tickets now and support this very worthy cause”.
