Although they will not be competing at the European Championships in Lithuania next year, Cory Band will be heard in performance in Palanga as part of the 9th European Composers Competition.

The band will perform the works that make it through to the final on Thursday 2nd May at the Palanga Concert Hall.

Amazing performances

Speaking about their involvement Chris King, Chairman of EBBA's Music Commission stated: "With Cory Band playing the finale concert, we know the new compositions will be given amazing performances."

Composers still have time to submit their works for consideration. They should be an original composition for brass band (Section 1 or 2 level) of maximum of 12 minutes in duration. The competition will consist of one preliminary round and the live finale, for the three or four best entries.
