A medley of rousing music will be performed by the highly acclaimed Nantwich Concert Band and will feature talented soprano Jessica Thayer.

“An event to lift both hearts and minds! We will bask in the musicality of the fabulous Nantwich Concert Band who will be performing in partnership with the exquisite Soprano, Jessica Thayer. The Proms really has come to Acton!”
