Concerto performances and more

The last few weeks have seen performances of two of my concerto's for low brass. Euphonium soloist Thomas Ruedi performed Three Stories - Three Worlds with the Swiss band, Brass Band Burgermusik Luzern, who were conducted by Ludwig Wicki.

And the tuba concerto, Episodes and Echoes, has recieved 2 performances, from two different soloists. Les Neish, who the concerto was written for performed the concerto in Malta, accompanied by the University of Sheffield Wind Orchestra, conducted by Tony Houghton. Paul Dormand, a tuba student at the RNCM, also gave a great rendition of the work, with the University of Manchester.

MUWO's conductor, Phil Robinson, also programmed Bang 2 and Hymn for Africa in the same concert, where they were joined by Stockport School Wind Band.

Hi Pete Meechan... I'm a trombonist from Singapore. We will be playing one of your song, 'Purcell Variants' for our upcoming concert.

Personally feel that the 3rd movement for the song is a bit tough. But we'll overcome it!

I love 'Purcell Variants' alot! =)

Hope to see you visit Singapore. Don't forget to drop by the Singapore Wind Symphony Youth Winds if you really come to Singapore! =)
