Alton Concert Band
Joint concert with the Lydian Singers ‘Thank You For the Music’ Saturday 18th April 2026 Alton Maltings
Alton Concert Band is a friendly group of amateur musicians founded in 2010. Since that time we have grown both in size and musical skill. We play a wide variety of light and classical music, including music from the shows, jazz and swing.
The band performs three formal concerts per year, in the Spring, Autumn and at Christmas. These concerts support local and national charities including the RNLI, Winchester Night Shelter, Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice, Home-Start (Weywater), St. Michael’s Hospice and the Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre in Alton. Additionally we have been invited to perform at more informal events such as the Medstead Fete and the Christmas Lights Switch-On in Alton town centre. We also add some festive cheer at Christmas time with ‘Carols Around The Tree’ in Alton Market Square, performing well loved carols with audience participation.
On the 28th August, the band was back playing at ‘The Last Night Of The Proms’ at the Gilbert White House, an event which, like last year, was once again a huge success.
In March 2026, we joined forces with our MD, Jeremy Morrish’s ladies’ choir, The Lydian Singers, at the Alton Maltings. This also proved to be a very successful event.
Our concerts are an entertaining night out for people of all ages and backgrounds. If you are interested in booking the band, or if you play a brass, percussion or wind instrument and would like to play in a relaxed and friendly environment, then please get in touch and come and join in one of our rehearsals.
