The Cornwall Youth Brass
Band is pleased to launch its 50th Anniversary Programme. Rehearsals for the
new season start on September 19th working towards the Christmas Residential
Course. The Band will be joined on the Course by the young Euphonium star
David Childs who will be guest soloist as well as coaching and conducting
the Band during the Course. Winner of the International Euphonium Player
Award of the Year at the age of eighteen, David was also winner of the Brass
Section of the BBC Young Musician of The Year.
The Easter Course will
celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Band and at a Gala concert at The Hall
for Cornwall they will give the first performance of a new work being
written for them by Philip Harper, who will also be directing the course.
The work based on a
selection of Cornish Melodies will take the form of a thirty minute journey
around the world, starting and ending in Cornwall. The concert will also
include a rare performance of Sir Malcolm Arnold’s Song of Freedom when the
Band will be joined by Primary School Choirs from the County.
New members are invited and
welcomed to join the Band for this exciting season and full details are
attached.
