Evans picks classics for Brass Band Summer School

Richard Evans has picked plenty of great music to perform on his Summer School Course in North Yorkshire.

Richard Evans
  Richard Evans will lead the Summer School once again...

The famous Brass Band Summer School that will take place at Giggleswick School in Settle in North Yorkshire between the 4th & 10th August has announced some of the repertoire that will be worked on during the course with the world class tutors led by the inimitable Richard Evans.

Music

'Where Eagles Sing' by Paul Lovatt-Cooper will rub shoulders with Weber's magnificent overture 'Ruler of the Spirits', whilst 'O Magnum Mysterioso' will provide the calm between the excitement of Gilbert Vinter's 'Spectrum' and Wagner's bombastic overture 'Rienzi'.

These are just the parts of the plans for what promises to be a wonderful week of music making at a fantastic setting — so why not come and join usspokesperson

Fantastic setting

A spokesperson told 4BR: "These are just the parts of the plans for what promises to be a wonderful week of music making at a fantastic setting — so why not come and join us."
