Firstly, my apologies for not having posted sooner, but things have been seriously busy. Some of you might know already as reported on brass-forum.co.uk that I won the Brass Final of the BBC Young Musician Competition 2006, which was held last week in The Sage, Gateshead. Needless to say I am absolutely over the moon, and I hope this will be a really important step in my musical career. After two days of being trailed by a camera crew, several interviews and photo shoots (although I'm no model!) I was thrilled to progress, and privileged to be chosen by the distinguished adjudicatory panel of Paul Archibald, Richard Watkins and Ewan Easton. I'll now have the opportunity of performing the Tomasi concerto with the Northern Sinfonia and Yan Pascal Tortelier in The Sage on May 20th, which I'm looking foward to immensely. You can catch several programmes about the competition (including the Brass Final) on BBC 4 the week preceeding the final, and the complete concerto final broadcast on May 20th on BBC 2. Im now looking foward to purchasing a new Schilke Eb/D with my winnings, but most of all the chance of representation by YCAT and a Wigmore Hall debut in the autumn! For a 15 minute recital, that's not a bad result!
