On July 3,
2005 the London International Wind Band Festival will be organised for
the second year. Imagine the thrill your musicians will have when
performing for an international audience on stage at The Anvil Hall, a
first class concert hall with especially good acoustics for wind and
brass ensembles.
The Festival
features an adjudicated concert, workshops, and clinics with an outstanding
faculty of internationally recognized wind band leaders. This faculty
includes composer Philip Sparke, City of London Wind Band Artistic Director
Geoffrey Brand, and Keith Allen, conductor of the exceptional Birmingham
Symphonic Winds (first English band invited to perform at the Midwest Clinic
in Chicago).
Any symphonic
wind or brass ensemble (school, university, adult and youth) are welcome to
be placed on one of eight positions. Each band will be adjudicated to the
standards of the National Concert Band Festival of the UK and will receive a
Gold, Silver, or Bronze award based on their performance. The first year’s
festival was a resounding success, with participation of Wind Ensembles and
Bands from California, Virginia, England, Wales, and Slovenia!
Besides
participation in the festival, Creative Music Tours (Wens Reizen bv) from
the Netherlands can organise additional performances for your ensemble,
including transport, accommodation, restaurants etc. in any kind of venue.
