The Mountbatten Festival of Music (M.F.M) 2017 is being held this weekend at the Royal Albert Hall, this annual event holds significant interest for the Royal Marines Association Concert Band’s musicians, as many of our band members performed at the M.F.M in previous years, whilst serving in the Royal Marines Band Service.
“The Mountbatten Festival of Music returns, featuring the Massed Bands of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines performing over three nights at the Royal Albert Hall. These concerts display the outstanding versatility of some of the world’s finest military musicians and are given the “West End” treatment with spectacular lighting effects. The Festival sees the Royal Marines showcase their incredible musicianship and pageantry and features a wide range of musical styles, including music from the big screen and superb solo items, as well as the traditional marches and overtures that have proved such a hit with audiences over the years. “
The festival began on the 6th February 1973 when the bands of the Royal Marines School of Music, Naval Home Command, HMS Ganges, and Commander-in-Chief were massed for a performance for the benefit of the Royal Academy of Music’s 150th Anniversary Appeal. This has been the highlight of the Royal Marines Band Service calendar ever since. This year, the Duke of Edinburgh will be attending as Captain General of the Royal Marines.
The Royal Marines Association Concert Band is a concert band of around 50 musicians. We are committed to providing the highest standard of performance and musical excellence. Our aim is always to thrill audiences the length and breadth of the country, just as Royal Marines Bands have done for over a century.
The Band members are former Royal Marines Musicians as well as further members of the Corps family, musicians from other Services, invited professional and experienced civilians.
