RNCM Festival of Brass
The 2010 RNCM Festival of Brass features the finest brass band musicians in the land in celebratory mood. The festival’s composer-in-residence is Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen, Norway’s foremost composer for brass band. There is an opportunity to savour the colourful riches that the Salvation Army inspired in the United States, with music from Emmy Awardwinning composer Bruce Broughton, who will also be in residence. The festival also reflects what is ‘hot off the press’ from our home-grown creative talents with world and UK premières, revivals of neglected works and a day-long tribute to Philip Jones in the 10th anniversary year of his death.
Celebration fanfares, specially composed in memory of Philip Jones, will be performed as a prelude to each of the main events, and as ever there will be a comprehensive trade exhibition featuring all the best brass instrument makers and retailers under one roof. You can also visit the RNCM’s Historic Instrument Collection which will be open on Friday 22 from 6 > 7.30pm and Saturday 23 from 1 > 2pm.
