The Yorkshire and Humberside have pleasure in announcing another World Premier performance to take place during their celebratory concert in Ripon Cathedral on Sat 15th July.

 

In addition to the premier of Yorkshire Fantasy by Goff Richards there will be the world premier of a new Tuba Concerto by Philip Sparke. Played by the international Tuba Player Markus Theinert.

 

Markus Theinert had performed under and with Mr. Richard Evans in all the 23 years of their close friendship. The Leyland Band had accompanied him on a European concert tour with Edward Gregson’s tuba concerto. Philip Sparke composed his new Tuba Concerto in spring 2006 and dedicated it to Markus Theinert. The premiere performance of this piece with Grimethorpe Colliery Band in Ripon Cathedral will also be Mr. Theinert’s first guest appearance with this superb ensemble.
