We enjoyed a wonderful evening of music this Saturday at Wymondham Abbey in support of the Sue Lambert Trust and Community Food Assistance Programmes. The Abbey is an absolutely gorgeous venue to play and the band went all out with a repertoire full of classics, jazz and musicals. We also took full advantage of the impressive church organ to perform a movement of the dramatic Saint-Sáens Organ Symphony to finish the concert.

We are getting ready to celebrate!2022 represents a significant milestone for Norwich City Concert Band (NCCB) as we celebrate 25 years of making music. Originally founded by four members of a local wind ensemble the band now comprises of over 50 members ranging from their early 20’s through to retirees. Since our first concert in 1997 we have been working hard to bring the joy of live music to the residents across Norwich, Norfolk and Beyond! We are immensely proud of the what we have achieved over the last 25 years which includes playing for Dutch royalty, recording 3 professional CDs, touring in the UK & Europe and being instrumental (forgive the pun!) to a circus routine during the Outthere Festival. We also have a proud history of supporting local charities with over £30,000 raised to date and rising! "It will take more than a pandemic to stop us making music!"
Throughout this exciting evening, we’ll be taking concertgoers on a musical journey through the band’s history performing some well-known pieces celebrating our 25 years of music making. | |||

It's essential that we do our bit to look after those who need it most...As a ‘community lead band’ we understand how important it is to actively engage in supporting our local community. Pre-pandemic band memebrs would vote each year to support a local charity. Having had 2 years away from the the band room we've decided this year to support the local charity EACH (East Anglian Children's Hospice's), helping to raise donations and supporting their cause in whatever way with can through the music we make. Our chosen charity EACH support families and care for children and young people with life-threatening conditions across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk. We look forward to working with the EACH team now and throughout next year. |
