The Federation of Australasian Brass Bands is to host the first in a series of Composer & Conductor forums as part of the 2009 FABB festival.

Chairman of FABB Rick Casagrande commented, “The newly formed ABC forums initiated by Musical Advisor, Professor David King, is part of an educational programme being initiated by the Qdos Institute of Musical Arts.

FABB are pleased to act as hosts of the inaugural ABC forums which we believe will bring an enriching educational perspective to the 2009 festival.”

The launch of the Australasian Band Composers & Conductors (ABC) forums coincides with the visit to Australia by Professor Peter Graham later this year as guest of the Federation of Australasian Brass Bands.

The ABC forum for both composers and conductors directed by David King and Peter Graham takes place on Friday October 23rd.
