JOIN Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s brass octet ‘From Baroque to Boogie’ for a programme of dance-inspired music through the ages.

The performance is coming to Sydling St Nicholas Village Hall this autumn as part of the new Artsreach programme.

The BSO will be at Sydling St Nicholas Village Hall (01300 341777) on Thursday, November 30.

The players will present and perform a programme of brass music from the ancient to the contemporary alongside new arrangements, featuring works from Monteverdi to Charlie Parker, and Handel to Piazzolla.

The BSO is one of the UK’s best loved orchestras, boasting both a national and international reputation.

The BSO On Your Doorstep series brings specially designed, mid-scale chamber ensembles to a variety of community venues and audiences across the South West, presenting engaging programmes for families, new audiences and seasoned concert-goers alike.

During its own successful history of presenting professional performances in rural communities, Dorset’s touring arts charity, Artsreach, has also enjoyed a long-running relationship with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Artsreach director, Kerry Bartlett said: “Artsreach is incredibly proud of the partnership it has formed with the BSO over many years.

"We’ve loved working in partnership with the ensembles and our community volunteers to present recitals in village halls, churches and theatres of all sizes right across the county, and to audiences who may never have experienced a professional classical ensemble before.”

The BSO Brass Octet will also be at Stalbridge Village Hall on Saturday, October 28.

Call 01963 362978 for tickets to the Stalbridge performance and 01300 341777 for tickets to the Sydling St Nicholas performance. Both performances begin at 7.30pm. Or get tickets from the website at www.artsreach.co.uk
