Unlike the main characters in Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot', not one but two performances of major works by Edward Gregson arrived this week after something of waitâ€¦

Broadcasts

First of all there was a virtual broadcast of his 'Euphonium Concerto' on June 15th performed by David Childs for the International Euphonium Tuba Festival, followed by a welcome reprise of his Oboe Concerto, 'A Vision in a Dream' on BBC Radio 3 this week, performed by Jennifer Galloway and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Ben Gernon.
