Coming up
Sunday afternoon concert & cakes
A short concert of past and present radio and television themes played by the full 40-piece Leighton–Linslade Gala Orchestra and joined by guest singing groups ‘Rising Voices’ and ‘Open Voices’.
Sunday 27th September, 2026, 3.30pm
Waterloo Road, Linslade, Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire LU7 2NR
The Leighton-Linslade Gala Orchestra is back for another Sunday afternoon orchestral concert. This time the music will consist of a wide selection of radio and TV themes, many very well known. The Orchestra will welcome back local choirs Rising Voices and Open Voices as its guests.
This is an event for all the family and is a good and rare chance for children (particularly of middle and upper school age) to hear a full-size orchestra live. Even better, after the concert at about 4.45pm we are delighted members of St Barnabas Church will again be providing tea and a delicious selection of cakes with donations going to the Church.
The concert will be raising much-needed funds for Keech Hospice, a local charity dedicated to ensuring adults and children with life-limiting conditions receive the care and support they deserve.
All are welcome to come along and enjoy a fun afternoon of light orchestral music – and perhaps hum along to some favourite theme tunes.
