Known for their musicality, precision, and youthful energy, the choir will bring a fresh and uplifting sound to the stage. Brothers Liam and Ryan Johnson, successful members of Belvoir Players, will also take to the stage singing their favourite pieces from the musicals. Performing with Dynamic Brass holds special significance for Liam and Ryan; their father David Johnson is Dynamic Brass' very gifted Principal Cornet player — making this a true family celebration of musical talent. Together, these performers will present a rich and varied programme spanning traditional and contemporary brass band favourites, stunning solo features, and choral works that celebrate the magic of live performance.
