The final two public concerts for the year by the east Auckland-based St Andrew’s Big Band will benefit Auckland City Mission and Howick Little Theatre.
The concerts are titled Joyful, Joyful and will be filled with uplifting big band music from artists such as Buddy Rich, Glenn Miller, and Benny Goodman, as well as the band’s usual mix of Latin, blues, funk, and pop hits with a few festive favourites thrown in.
“I do hope you can join us and help celebrate the talents of young musicians from across east Auckland,” band musical director Hamish Arthur says.
The concerts are at 2pm and 7pm on December 17 at Howick Little Theatre, Sir Lloyd Drive, Pakuranga.
Tickets cost $20 with proceeds going to the theatre and Auckland City Mission.
