About

Part of RNCM International Brass Band Festival.

Tredegar Town Band opens with Judith Bingham’s Prague, a piece the composer herself describes as being deliberately disruptive and displaced, yet shaped within a classical structure, like a miniature symphony. Next is the first of two pieces in this programme by the festival’s featured composer, Edward Gregson, brought to life by French horn soloist, Ben Goldscheider. Hailed as redefining the horn genre, Ben is quickly gaining a reputation as a transformative figure for his virtuosic playing and expansion of horn repertoire through commissions and premières.

Philip Sparke’s A Road Less Travelled By offers a musical depiction of a composer’s journey – emphasising the value of the path over the destination. The title is inspired by Robert Frost’s 1916 poem, The Road Not Taken. Finally, in a thought-provoking close, Tredegar performs the world première of Ed de Boer’s Homage to Julian Assange.
