Foden's technology link with Keele

Foden's link to Keele University Music & Music Technology connects players to a great new initiative...

Fodens
 

Brass musicians young and old recently came to Keele for a workshop and concert celebrating a new partnership between Foden's Band and the Music & Music Technology department at Keele University.

Concert

Foden's worked with a Beginner's Band conducted by Anna Hughes-Williams and more advanced group led by Mark Wilkinson throughout the afternoon, with each performing at a special 'St. George's Day Spectacular' concert in the evening, featuring music from Foden's conducted by Richard Evans, plus performances by Keele University's own brass band conducted by student Amy Stringer.

Keele's soloists Hugo Boucheny, Jordan Edge, Oliver Sargeant, David Foulger, Andrew Hartnell also enjoyed the opportunity of playing solos with Foden's, whilst between events, delegates and tutors retired to the Clock House for tea, accompanied by Music & Music Technology's Programme Director, Dr Nicholas Reyland,
