Bands in Parks: Ode to Joy

Bands in Parks performs St Augustine's Church.

Join Bardon Strings for an uplifting afternoon of music at St Augustine’s Church to celebrate Saint Canterbury’s feast day.

This special concert celebrates the rich musical heritage of the British Isles alongside beloved classical favourites. Audiences will be transported through the lively rhythms and lyrical beauty of traditional Celtic music from Ireland and Scotland, performed with warmth and spirit by this dedicated community string orchestra. The programme also features cherished masterpieces including Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring and Sheep May Safely Graze by Sebastian Bach, and the triumphant Ode to Joy from the Ninth Symphony by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Set within the beautiful and resonant surrounds of St Augustine’s Church, this feast day performance promises an afternoon of reflection, celebration, and joyful music-making. Whether you are a lover of Celtic melodies or classical gems, Ode to Joy offers something to stir every heart.
