Midsummer melodies from Rochdale Light Orchestra

Rochdale Light Orchestra will perform a programme of midsummer melodies this month in Castleton.

The orchestra, conducted by Graham Marshall, will perform at St.Martin’s Church on Sunday 21 June at 3pm.

A feature of the concert will be celebrating the 50th anniversaries of the deaths of two much loved British composers of light music Haydn Wood and Bill Mayerl.

Conductor Graham Marshall is looking forward to being able to share his delight in what he regards as some of the most attractive and enduring melodies to come from the hearts of British composers of the twentieth century.

The Rochdale Light Orchestra meets on Mondays at 7.30pm in the community rooms of St. Martin’s to rehearse and perform music of a light-hearted nature of all ages.

Membership is open to any orchestral instrumentalist who would like to take part, though a minimum performance standard of Grade 5 is desirable. More String players would be particularly welcome.
