TORONTO WORKERS CLUB, TORONTO
CNL Brass was one of four community bands to present a concert program to an appreciative audience. With musical director John Kellaway unavailable, the baton was in the hand Rowan Taylor. The afternoon provided a great variety of numbers. The other bands to participate were Western Lake Macquarie Concert, Newcastle PCYC Brass and Lake Macquarie Winds.
CNL Brass played six numbers, opening with Lionel Ritchie’s hit tune All Night Long, featuring the cornet section. Bruce Fletcher, principal cornet, playing the valveless post horn, provided the audience with the very lively 1844 Hermann Koenig composition Post Horn Gallop, a tribute to post horn players of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. James Curnow’s composition The Depths of His Love was a new number for the band’s repertoire. It was written specifically for tenor horn, and played by Geoffrey McGregor. The band concluded its program with the Justin Timberlake’s Cry Me A River.
The event was organised by the Hunter Regional Band Association.
