The concert featured a world premier performance of composer in Residence Andy Scott's new work "Spirit of Mingus".
The piece was well recieved by audience and critics alike and upon hearing the premier performance, guest conductor Howard Snell commented
"A fine, fine piece! I was thoroughly impressed with the piece on a "pro-musician-solving-problems-and-doing-new-things" basis, but essentially I just enjoyed it, and will spend another 15 minutes of my valuable and scarce time listening to it again when the next chance crops up."
The performance was recorded live and is now available for you to watch, complete with programme notes by Andy Scott.
