New music

He is also exploring music outside the brass band medium, and is working on new concert music for the Central Band of the Royal Air Force, after their recent premier of 'Diversions on Calon Lan' for wind orchestra.

All this and he has had time to launch his new website too! Go to: www.tomdavoren.co.uk
