Grimethorpe Colliery has announced the return of Phillipe Schwartz to the 2nd euphonium position with the Brass in Concert Champions.

Two years away

Phillipe returns after a two year period as solo euphonium with the Leyland Band.

Filled

A spokesperson told 4BR: "Phillipe, along with the other recent signings brings the band back to full strength, with all the vacant positions having now been successfully filled."

Meanwhile, conductor Brian Grant added: "I’m really pleased to see Philippe back in the band, but it is a great regret that we lose the services of Brendan Wheeler, because of his Army commitments."
