Shall We Dance? : From Strauss to Stage & Screen
The BBC Elstree Concert Band are excited to be back in Dorchester and this time will be whisking you onto the dance floor.
From the waltz to the tango, as well as a commemoration of 200yrs of Johann Strauss, music for dance takes many forms and styles.
They will showcase well-known dances from the musicals and also a tribute to American ragtime.
The BBC Elstree Concert Band, celebrating its 40th Anniversary, has established a reputation for entertaining the Dorchester Festival audience with diverse and varied programmes from the wind band repertory.
This year, they will be joined again by Oxford Collutorium who will be making their own vocal tribute to the world of dance.
If you need disabled parking or access do contact them here with your requirements – they’d love to help you!
