Anzac Day commemorations in Cambridge will start at 7pm next Wednesday with an Anzac Eve Concert in the Town Hall that brings two major bands together.
Paul Murphy
Organised by the Cambridge Brass Band, the event will feature well-known pieces from New Zealand and Australian songbooks, as well as music from Italy, France and other theatres of war where Australians and New Zealanders served but not necessarily as Anzacs.
The band will this year be joined by members of the Cambridge and Districts Pipe Band.
Emcee at the event will be Paul Murphy, and all concert proceeds will go to the Cambridge RSA Welfare Trust.
Following on from that, the annual Dawn Service will take place at the cenotaph outside the Cambridge Town Hall at 6am, with the Civic Service in the hall at 9am.
Rehearsing for Wednesday’s Anzac Concert in Cambridge are members of the Cambridge Brass Band and the Cambridge and Districts Pipe Band, from left, Jack Redpath (brass band assistant musical director), pipe major Gordon Carter, Rowan Thorley, Chris Reynolds, Andrew Cameron, Robyn Irving, David Moon and Anne Ferrier-Watson.
