POSTPONED - World Class Brass with Peter Moore

16/3/2020

0 Comments

 
Dear Band Colleagues
Peter Moore, the great young trombonist and friend to SA, was being brought to Australia by a music performance group in Melbourne and Yamaha. After giving recitals there he was coming to spend time with us and feature at our World Class Brass Concert. The Melbourne people have told Peter they are cancelling his visit because of the virus situation.
Peter, and we, are hugely disappointed that he is unable now to be with us later this month. However, we are only postponing the SABA World Class Brass concert. We hope to stage this, or a similar concert with Peter, later in the year as and when the virus emergency is over.
Thank you to all those bands and bands-people who were keen to make the concert a great event and have been rehearsing for the massed band performance at the concert. Thank you to all those who have been arranging the event and particularly all those who have been publicising it for us.
We look forward to you joining us at a Concert with Peter at some point later.
Very best wishes
Bruce Raymond
President, on behalf of the SABA Executive Committee

Note: Ticket refunds can be arranged by contacting David Corkindale, the Secretary of SA Band Association by email at [email protected]
