Frank Renton: Still Listening to the Band - Ep 27

Brass Band Podcast

David Thornton is rapidly becoming one of the most influential figures in the development of the brass band and its young musicians. Frank got him on the business side of a Brasspass.tv microphone between their rehearsal and concert in Stoller Hall as they were preparing for that afternoon’s performance of a favourite piece of both soloist and conductor. As conductor of Brighouse and Rastrick, Head of Brass Band Studies at RNCM, brass teacher at Chet’s plus a flourishing solo career, David has his finger firmly on the brass band pulse. This is a conversation not to be missed and the performance of the Horovitz Euphonium Concerto is available to download from our website!
