There’ll be a good selection of festive tunes to get you in the Christmas spirit, along with some carols to sing along to and popular pieces from the worlds of classical music, modern pop, film and big-band favourites. In fact, there’s something to appeal to all musical tastes.
Nominated for a national award by the Royal Philharmonic Society, Phoenix Saxophone Orchestra features six different types of saxophone, from the tiny sopranino to the bass sax, and makes a truly rousing sound.
Tickets are £12 each including a glass of wine, beer or a soft drink and are available from the Library, by calling 01536 532415 or by emailing dhubcontact@gmail.com. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start.
Profits from the concert will be split equally between Desborough Library and Community Hub (DLCH) and Phoenix Saxophone Orchestra (PSO). DLCH is a registered charity which, having taken over the running of Desborough Library in 2020, is working to open up the building to new ideas and create a community hub for the whole town, young and old, to use. The vibrant community hub is run by a team of dedicated volunteers. PSO is a registered charity that aims to celebrate and advance the art of music, and to bring the versatility of the saxophone to a wider community audience.
