Brief Update

Just a quick post to update you on what I've been up to these last few weeks. The most exciting news has been that I've been accepted into both the EUYO and the Pacific Music Festival Orchestra in Japan for courses this summer, and I'm awaiting results from the Stuttgart Festival Ensemble. I'm also starting to rehearse regularly with my quintet QuintEssence for a June gig at Grange Park Opera, have performed Handel's Messiah in Rugby, played a fanfare for the Lord Mayor and Stelios (the Easyjet owner!) at London's Mansion House, the offstage part in Verdi's Requiem with the Ealing Symphony Orchestra, music for trumpet and organ at an honorary graduation ceremony at KCL and even depped in an LSO Brass Ensemble rehearsal!

We also performed a contemporary programme with the RAM Brass Soloists at the Academy and I've had the pleasure of being tutored by Howard Snell, former LSO principal trumpet, and Fergus McWilliam from the Berlin Phil. I've also just started natural trumpet lessons with Bob Farley, so a busy summer term beckons. Next week sees me play Mahler 10 at St. John Smith's Square, before heading off to Suffolk for a course with the Britten Pears Orchestra. Fun, fun, fun! Will post soon, next time in a more organised fashion!
