Renowned pianist, composer, conductor and adjudicator Ivan Black, recognised for his work with the BBC and Ulster Orchestra will once again be performing at this very popular event and will be encouraging the audience to offer all sorts of musical ‘advice’ as he attempts to compose a Christmas piano concerto on the spot.

Tickets for both events are free and are available on a first come first served basis from Banbridge District Council Civic Building and Banbridge Leisure Centre from Thursday 22 November. A maximum of four tickets may be issued to an individual. Guests attending may make a donation to the Council Chairman’s nominated charity, Cancer Research UK.
