The Rusty Player’s Orchestra are gearing up for the festive season in style, bringing their latest concert performance to the Newhampton Arts Theatre on Sunday 8th December 2024.

Rustys will be taking on and celebrating classics spanning across arts, music and motion pictures this Christmas. Join us and experience the magic of Tchaikovsky’s with a twist, alongside the electrifying energy of rock legends like Queen. Our Rustys will take you on a journey through time, showcasing the enduring power of great music.

This performance is presented by The People’s Orchestra Charity Staff, and will be conducted by Julian Powell. This performance will feature musicians from The Rusty Player’s Orchestra Black Country and South Birmingham.

The Rusty Player’s Orchestra was a spark of an idea that has caught fire
over the past five years. Set up to reignite musical passion in those who hadn’t picked up an instrument in a while, it started out as one group in Birmingham.

Urging those who had strayed away from their musical pastime to dig out their instruments once more, word of mouth saw it attract people from all walks of life and ages. With more and more rusty musicians keen to join from far and wide, the orchestras expanded to include even more areas. So much so that its success now means there are four ensembles running across England and Wales, in Black Country, South Birmingham, Barry Island, and Carmarthen.
