Wind Orchestra & School Band Join Forces

Music fans will be able to enjoy a wide-ranging programme when the Isle of Man Wind Orchestra teams up with the QEII High School Wind Band.

The concert in Peel on February 6 marks the 10th anniversary of the annual collaboration between the two groups.

Conductor John Kinley said the event gives student musicians the chance to perform alongside experienced players and explore a more ambitious repertoire, while highlighting a clear progression from school band to community orchestra.

Joining Forces

The evening will feature performances by each band separately, followed by a finale bringing together more than 70 musicians.

The programme includes music from artists such as Ed Sheeran and Ozzy Osbourne, alongside classical works and popular music from stage and screen.

Tickets cost £5 for adults and are free for children, with proceeds supporting the QEII High School Association.

Tickets are available from the school reception or on the door, with free parking and refreshments available on the night.
