The Hannaford Street Silver Band is honoured to partner with the Amadeus Choir and cannot hold our excitement for this concert. Grab your tickets before it’s all sold out!
THIS SATURDAY! Our "Silver & Gold" holiday concert, which we are presenting in partnership with the Hannaford Street Silver Band will delight you will seasonal classics, new arrangements for brass and choir, and carol singalongs. Another highlight of the concert will be the world premiere of "Thank You Twice" by Aaron Manswell for 100-voice choir and full brass band.
Aaron Manswell speaks about his composition:
"Thank You Twice” is a song that affirms the power of love languages. Though a composition for any time of year, it is most relatable during the Christmas season when material gift-giving is adorned as the main way to show love. Opening as a contemporary R&B ballad and closing as a traditional choral anthem, the lyrics insist the best gifts are tailored to the love language of the recipient.
Don't miss the exciting world premiere of this incredible work. Get your tickets today at www.bit.ly/silverandgoldconcert.
