The Phoenix Concert Band, formed in 1999 by members of the wind and brass evening class at Sutton College [SCOLA], still meets there and performs in the Sutton area four or five times a year. It performs regularly at the Chipstead Annual Flower Show, for the charity ‘Live at Home’ and for Sutton Senior Citizens. It has also performed for the National Trust at Morden Hall Park, the Royal Household Staff, Windsor Great Park, the Children’s Trust, Tadworth and at the Millennium Dome, Greenwich.
Brian Cox, appointed Music Director in 2014, trained at Kneller Hall and then joined the Life Guards, where he played in the concert band, dance band, orchestra, rock band and quartet. Since leaving the Army he has continued to play and conduct with several bands.
This evening’s programme will feature a selection from the band’s extensive repertoire of light music, including music from the shows and the movies.
