Twin town orchestra teams up for one-off Nantwich concert

accordion orchestra from twin town to perform with Crewe Brass

An orchestra from Crewe and Nantwich’s twin town Bischofsheim is travelling to Cheshire to perform in a one-off concert.

Local brass band Crewe Brass are hosting the visit, with the groups teaming up to perform together at St Mary’s Church in Nantwich.

For more than six years, Crewe Brass has had a strong friendship with HHS Bischofsheim – an accordion band from the German town.

This year, HHS Bischofsheim is visiting Cheshire again and will join Crewe Brass for the joint concert on Saturday October 1.

Crewe Brass musical director Jamie Meredith said: “It really is a unique and exciting sound when you bring together a full 25-piece brass band and an accordion orchestra.

“The friendship that the two bands have developed over the past years really reflects in their musical performance and this joint concert will be the highlight of Crewe Brass’ 2016 concert schedule.”

Tickets are £5 and are available now from St Mary’s Church shop in Nantwich, or contact [email protected] to reserve tickets.
