Derwent Brass International Composition Competition
I'm absolutely thrilled to have won the inaugural Derwent Brass composition competition with my work, The Haçienda.
It’s an incredible honour to have my work recognised in this way, especially alongside such talented composers. Since conducting Denton Brass Band from 2022, I’ve been exploring this genre, and writing for brass has been a rewarding challenge. I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity to contribute to this body of music. I was particularly impressed by how the band captured the atmosphere I envisioned, especially with those fat bass tones! It’s been an exciting journey, and I’m proud to have been part of such an innovative project.
