Lancaster British Brass Band, conducted by Andrew Yozviak, will perform in concert on Tuesday, June 6, at 7 p.m. at St. John Neumann Church, 601 E. Delp Road, Lancaster.

The concert is free and will include an hour and a half of hymns, popular music, classics, marches, solos, and original compositions written for brass band. The program was selected for a balanced presentation that attempts to please a wide range of tastes and interests.

Lancaster British Brass Band follows the path first laid down in the mill and mining towns of mid-19th-century Britain. Gradually evolving into a fixed group of 28 players plus a conductor, the brass band flourished under the sponsorship of mill and mine owners looking to raise morale. Later, the Salvation Army began capitalizing on the success of the bands by establishing brass bands as part of its outreach through music.

The unique sound of Lancaster British Brass Band is due to the ensemble's being composed entirely of brass winds and percussion instruments.

A freewill offering will be received for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which helps local people in need.
