Hi,
We are Brandon and Harris (two pianists) and we would love to invite you to our concert in Poole. We want to showcase a blend of classical piano music perfomed by Harris, and Brandon's newly released album 'Kaiser and I'.
Tickets can be purchased on this platform or on the day at the door (cash only).
The event will include a drinks reception at the end (all drinks are complimentary). CDs will also be available for purchase (£10 each).
As well as being a passion, music is our business and it gives us the platform to share our missions and show our concerns for our society. One of our concerns at the moment is the rising cost of living and the crises this presents to many families across the UK.
To contribute to a our society, we are going to donate a fraction of the earnings to St James' food bank - which facilitates meals to many families across Dorset. We want to lead the way through charity by allocating a portion of our money to support the food bank in keeping its doors opened to more families for many more years to come.
