Uni Brass Gala Concert

On the 17th February we had the pleasure of performing the Gala Concert at Warwick University upon the completion of the 'Uni Brass' contest. The contest attracted 30 bands from across the Country consisting of 820 participants. The contest was split into two sections with our very own John Barber and Mark Landon adjudicating one of the sections and Mark Wilkinson leading a masterclass to brass players during the course of the day. The bands 'guest soloist' for the concert was the fantastic James Fountain, Principal Trumpet of the London Symphony Orchestra.
The Uni Brass committee ran a very successful composer contest, the winning entry was entitled ‘Calling’ by Naomi Hill (who also won our inaugural Female Composer Competition last year!). Foden's performed this work in the concert
Congratulations and thanks to all the organisers for once again running one of the most important events in the banding calendar - keeping the music playing for university students across the UK!
