Harry Potter's 20th anniversary sees fans across the world unite to celebrate The Boy Who Lived. With the theme music a firm favourite of The People's Orchestra, they make their return to West Bromwich Town Hall for their Autumn concert; Fantastic Beats and Where to Hear Them. Opening at 19:30 on Saturday 14th October, the orchestra promises to offer audiences a night of orchestral enchantment and magical music, an evening of fantasy pieces from film, TV and classical sources.
Tickets are now on sale with audiences from across the Midlands expected to descend upon West Bromwich Town Hall to enjoy classic orchestral pieces such as Hall of The Mountain King, Devil’s Dance and Mars, straight through to more contemporary fantasy pieces from Lord of The Rings, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban.
“It’s a wonderful time to return to West Bromwich, it’s our home town. We couldn’t be happier to return with for a performance which will see The People’s Orchestra doing what they do best!” Orchestra Director Sarah Marshall said upon request for comment. “It’s sure to be a night that our audience will not forget”
Sadly, The People’s Orchestra were devastated to find out that thieves had targeted their van and stolen sound equipment, instruments and other items.
Sarah Marshall, MD, said “We estimate that about £2000 of equipment has been lost but it may be a while before we find out the full extent of what’s been taken. It’d truly heart breaking after fundraising to buy the kit, that someone has taken it”
The People’s Orchestra, who use live music performance to help and support unemployed people back into work in The Black Country were rehearsing for the upcoming concert.
A fundraising page has been set up to help the charity recover from the loss.
“Remember the name, and see them when you can, we have a feeling that tickets for future performances will be difficult to get your hands on once word spreads” – Phoenix Newspaper, July 2017
