Sterling Instruments
 

There is sure to be an incredible evening of musical magic and nostalgia on show in Bedford on Sunday May 19th as Sterling Instruments celebrates its 25th anniversary with the help of some of the world’s finest players.

Euphonium greats

The concert at Bedford’s Corn Exchange will also feature 2012 ‘Double Champions’, Foden’s as well as guest soloists and the all time euphonium greats – Trevor Groom and Lyndon Baglin.

In addition there will be appearances by current superstars such as Glyn Williams, Patrick Randefalk, Robert Voss, Kevin van Giel, Nick Ost and Stijn Berbe.

Dream come true

Sterling founder Paul Riggett, told 4BR that getting such a line up of Sterling endorses on euphonium, baritone and horn is something of a dream come true.

"It is a bit of a wish list – with the added bonus that they are all wonderful Sterling instrument players!2

He added: "It’s going to be a great night of brass band entertainment, so please come along and enjoy it – I know I will!"
