Morley And District Concert Band

Morley And District Concert Band A friendly, local concert band, The Morley And District Concert Band was formed in September 1998 by Aubrey Beswick. Thomas Pitts currently conducts the band.

We are open to all ages and abilities, although a reasonable standard of playing would be needed. The band has traditional concert band instrumentation – a woodwind section currently consisting of flutes, Bb clarinets, bass clarinet and saxophones – alto, tenor and baritone; and a brass section consisting of trumpets/cornets and baritone/euphonium.

Great fun supporting the Morley 10km Road Race today. We’re officially a high winds band… if you come across pieces of music scattered by the wind, we did our best to catch them!

Glorious sunshine ☀️ in New Farnley. Perfect weather to watch the Morley and District Concert Band with Councillor Adrian McCluskey.

Favourite pieces were Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and the condensed Lord of the Rings film soundtrack. Thanks you to the band for a wonderful performance!
