Tour

The end of the month Richard embarks on a ten day tour of Canada, Kentucky and Atlanta.

Recitals

Starting in Toronto, Richard will present a clinic with the Weston Silver Band as well as performing a recital and masterclass at the University of Toronto. Following this he will then fly to Louisville, where he will adjudicate at the North American Brass Band Championships at the beginning of April.

Less stressful

After a weekend of being on the less stressful side of contesting, Richard will then travel to Georgia to perform a concert with the Georgia Brass Band as well as presenting clinics at Universities.

Richard arrives back in the UK just in time for a rehearsal with Black Dyke and then a relaxing Easter weekend!
