THE Little Brass Band is preparing to play its heart out in a special afternoon concert supporting the vital work of Lifeline Ballarat next Sunday 5 October.<\/p>\n
The Catchy Classics in Concert event will feature the classical music hits everyone is familiar with, and that many love.<\/p>\n
It will take place at 2pm at Ballarat Central Uniting Church, which is supporting the event by providing the venue at no cost.<\/p>\n
“We are playing selections from many well-known classical and operatic repertoire, and trying to attract an audience who don’t normally listen to classical music or attend classical concerts,” The Little Brass Band manager Janice Lynn said.<\/p>\n
“They will actually know all the tunes.”<\/p>\n
Ms Lynn plays French horn and also works as a crisis support worker with Lifeline Ballarat.<\/p>\n
The Little Brass Band will be joined by special guests Claritude Clarinet Quartet in presenting an afternoon of “exciting quirky arrangements of famous classics”.<\/p>\n
The Little Brass Band has acquired a track record for delivering concerts supporting the not-for-profit welfare and health sector and next Sunday’s concert continues that trend.<\/p>\n
“All funds raised will go towards supporting Lifeline Ballarat community training in suicide awareness and prevention,” Ms Lynn said.<\/p>\n
“Apart from the suicide prevention phone line contact with callers in crisis, the Ballarat Lifeline staff also run training sessions and workshops in suicide awareness and prevention within the community.<\/p>\n
“The work they do is amazing. The concert is just a way to have a fun afternoon of quirky popular classics that everyone knows, even if they don’t think they like classical music.”<\/p>\n
Tickets are through Trybooking and at the door, $20 full price, $10 concession, kids under 12 free and donations welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
