Tredegar will maintain its busy schedule of high-profile concert appearances before they feature at this year's BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, when they head to Birmingham to perform at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (RBC).
So Spoke Albion
They will join forces with the RBC Brass Band for a joint concert that will feature heavyweight repertoire from the pens — including a reprise of the critically acclaimed 'So Spoke Albion' by Gavin Higgins which they performed at the recent European Championships and the prestigious Newbury Festival.
Also included are the 'Vienna Philharmonic Fanfare' and Philip Littlemore's transcription of Vaughan Williams' 'Suite from 49th Parallel' devised by Paul Hindmarsh. Guest euphonium soloist David Childs Philip Wilby's 'Zeibikikos'.
Extreme Makeover
The first half of the concert will feature the RBC Brass Band in 'La Peri' by Paul Dukas, as well as Philip Sparke's 'The Year of the Dragon' and Johan de Meij's 'Extreme Makeover'.
