Conducting summer school

In late June and early July I took part in an
inspirational conducting summer school, led by Allan
Withington and hosted by Soli Brass in Leeuwarden,
Netherlands. Allan is a trumpet player with the
Bergen Symphony Orchestra in Norway, and also
Musical
Director
of the Grimethorpe Colliery Band. It was a
challenging but hugely rewarding week, during which I
wrote a new work for percussion, solo euphonium, and
town hall bells in A and D major – a work that is
unlikely to receive a second performance. Check out
the link on my ‘Links’
page
for information on the fabulous Soli Brass.
