Band of the Coldstream Guards to perform free concert with university students

On Thursday 5 March the Band of the Coldstream Guards will perform a free concert open to the public alongside students from London College of Music (LCM), part of the University of West London. The concert will take place at St Mary’s Church in Ealing at 7.30pm.

Conducted by Director of Music Major Darren Wolfendale, the band will perform favourites including Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue which will feature LCM’s Dr Emilie Capulet on piano. Simon Rigby, Senior Lecturer at LCM, will conduct LCM Camerata, an ensemble choir of students that specialises in Baroque and Classical orchestral music.

The Band of the Coldstream Guards is one of the oldest regiments in the British Army in continuous active service, and was founded by General George Monck in 1650. As part of their duties, they also contribute to world-famous ceremonial occasions such as Changing of the Guard and Trooping the Colour.
