Mullingar Town Band confirm dates of Sounds of Summer recital series
Mullingar Town Band have announced two community performances this May, titled the ‘Sounds of Summer’ series, recitals that will showcase the diverse talents of local musicians, offering a mix of formal elegance and relaxed family fun.
The first event is on Tuesday May 5 at 7pm in The Atrium, Westmeath County Council Buildings. An intimate indoor recital, it will feature the sounds of the Mullingar Concert Band alongside the harmonies of the Sweet Tunes Choir.
Attendees can expect a refined programme, including a sophisticated performance by a clarinet quartet and a high-energy, virtuosic wylophone solo that promises to be a highlight of the evening. Admission is free, though due to the intimate nature of the venue, space and seating are limited.
The music moves outdoors for the second recital on Sunday May 24 at 3pm in Mullingar Town Park. This family-friendly event invites the public to enjoy the Mullingar Concert Band in a relaxed, open-air setting. Attendees are encouraged to bring picnics, blankets, and enjoy a Sunday afternoon filled with popular classics and summer melodies.
The performance is weather-permitting and open without the need for tickets.
“The ‘Sounds of Summer’ series is our way of celebrating the talent within our ranks and the community that surrounds us,” says band director Kim Magee. “We are grateful for the continued encouragement we receive from the people of Mullingar.”
Mullingar Town Band extend a special thank-you to Westmeath County Council for their support in granting the use of both the Atrium and the town park, an said their commitment to local arts ensures that high-quality music remains accessible to everyone in the county.
The band also thank the local community for their unwavering support throughout the year. “Whether attending concerts, supporting fundraisers, or cheering from the sidelines during parades, your enthusiasm is the heartbeat of the band.”
