November Happenings...
The last week of November was a busy time at Poole Grammar School. Dr Jack Stamp, percussionist, composer, conductor and chair of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania visited the local school for a week of music making.
Fellow PGS percussion tutor Graeme Thew and myself gave the UK premier of Jack's new Concertino for Percussion and Band.
Dr Stamp also put several people (including myself) through our paces at a conducting workshop in Blandford with the Band of the Royal Signals. It was an intense experience and we all learned so much.
And just to top a busy week off, I got to play timps in Neilson's notoriously difficult 4th Symphony on the Saturday with the City of Southampton Orchestra!
Take a peek at what we played below:
