Euphonium artist Charley Brighton will be soloing through Europe in the next 3 months.

Soloist

From July 23rd he will be a featured soloist with the BBC Elstree Winds in Ostend & Bredene Music Festivals, before moving on to Royan in France in August with the Brass Reflections Ensemble.

September takes him to Turin, with the Staines Salvation Army Brass. Whilst there, he will donate four instruments from his collection, to a young brass beginners group.

Recital

In addition, his 43rd recital at St. Mary's Slough takes place in August for which he has lined up no less that three vintage Euphoniums to perform on.

Plans are under way to return to Virginia, USA next Spring where he will be guest soloist with the Henrico Concert Band. He previously toured and presented master classes there in 2008.
