Themed Concerts

Why not really put the FUN into Fundraising by organising a themed concert. Here are some ideas and suggested programmes.

New Year
Viennese Concert
The traditional New Year concert featuring the music of the great Viennese composers, such as Mozart and Strauss. Funds can be raised from ticket and programme sells.

Programme Suggestions
Blue Danube
Emperor Waltz
Rondo from the 4th Horn Concerto
Hungarian Polka
Thunder and Lightening Polka
Radetsky March

Summer
'Hamper and Brass' on the Green
Great for a summer's afternoon or evening. Guests bring their own hamper and deck chairs, and settle down for an open-air concert of easy listening music. Funds can be raised from bucket collections and the sells of raffle tickets, ice creams and drinks.

Summer Evening
Firework Extravaganza
An opportunity to earn significant funds by organising a combined concert and music-coordinated fireworks display.
