Katsikaris for Leyland |
|
Leyland Band is delighted to announce the appointment of Jason Katsikaris as its new Musical Director.
Band Chairman Gary Westwood enthused: “Jason worked with the band towards the end of 2007 and we immediately recognised his talent and energy. These qualities are exactly what Leyland Band requires to progress in the coming year.”
“Looking to the first half of 2008, Leyland has a full concert schedule, a tour to Norway and innovative recording projects, while important contest qualifiers will be a major priority for the band. Everyone at Leyland is extremely excited about our partnership with Jason.”
Jason Katsikaris commented: “I’m thrilled with the appointment. Leyland is a fine band with a distinguished history. I’m humbled to be leading a band I admired so much as a young musician growing up in Australia. I was really impressed with the band when I worked with them before Christmas. There are some wonderful soloists within the ranks and the depth of talent is far-reaching.” Jason continued: “The band and I have set out our objectives for the coming year and I’m extremely determined to realise them.”
Jason Katsikaris will make his debut as Musical Director at the Stroud Brass Band Festival on Saturday 16 February. His first contest performance will be at the North West Regional Championships in March. |
