Bandstand Project to lead youth Coronation celebrations in Falmouth

There are a number of Confirmed Coronation events planned across Falmouth and Penryn this weekend including the Bandstand Project at the Princess Pavilion.

Music for Youth is delighted to stage a national event for young musicians to mark the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort. Funded by Arts Council England and made possible thanks to National Lottery players.

The Coronation Bandstand Project will see thousands of young musicians perform on bandstands in public parks across all 9 regions in England from 6 – 8 May 2023, enabling music and young people to play an important part in marking this historic occasion.

Participation in music events like this supports young people in their development, well-being and improves social skills. The ASONE Hub is proud to have been selected by Music for Youth to organise two performances to mark the King's Coronation on Saturday 6th May as part of its Project.

ASONE has chosen the bandstands at Princess Pavilions in Falmouth and Morrab Gardens in Penzance for the events, and each occasion will be full of young performers showcasing their talent in celebration of this historic event.

The event at the Princess Pavilions starts at 10.30 am where visitors are invited to watch the coronation onscreen. Performances from a variety of young people will commence at 12.00 pm or after the end of the Coronation Ceremony and will end at 7 pm. The Café is also open during those times.

Performers include St Austell Youth Band, choirs from Penryn College and Constantine Primary School, and several students from Falmouth University, offering musical genres from classic covers to Hip Hop and Rap.

Spaces are still available for youth groups to take part. If you or your school, youth centre, or community organisation have a band, or choir, and love to dance and perform please get in touch.
