BBC Radio 2 Young Brass Award recipients to be announced

In a new initiative for this year’s Festival, the final event of the 2012 Festival of Brass features performances from the recipients of the BBC Radio 2 Young Brass Awards, chosen by a panel of experts in the brass band field. The Award categories are for two soloists (under 18, and 18-21) and a youth band, all three of which will take part in this exciting event, together with the RNCM Brass Band directed by Nicholas Childs. A panel will select an overall Young Brass Award recipient during the concert.

Amongst the repertoire for this unique celebration is a new trombone concerto by Simon Dobson performed by the 2008 BBC Young Musician of the Year, Peter Moore, plus new writing from Lucy Pankhurst, Dan Price, and Jonathan Bates.
