Zone One Brass is looking forward to their appearance at the London & SC Area Championships on Sunday 22nd March under the baton of renowned orchestral conductor John Wilson.

Delighted

Solo trombone player Matt Lewis told 4BR: "Unfortunately, our MD Richard Ward is unable to conduct due to work commitments on tour, but we are looking forward to seeing him again."

Amazing opportunity

Matt added: "It's an amazing opportunity to have an internationally acclaimed conductor of John's calibre work with the band, especially on Martin Ellerby's Elgar inspired piece.

Zone One Brass are proud to add John to the short list of conductors who have directed the band in its 24 year history and welcome him into our band community of professional players who love playing in a band and competing at the highest level."

Thanks

The band also took the opportunity to thank Amos Miller and The Royal College of Music for their ongoing support of the band, nominating students to play and providing rehearsal spaces. "Our relationship as Brass Band in Residence at RCM continues to grow year on year".
