Stephen Mead



Hi all,
     For those interested, the world's premier euphonium player Stephen Mead 
will be playing in concert with the Sandwell Youth Band at Birmingham 
Conservatoire's Adrian Boult Hall on Saturday 13 July.
     The programme will feature several euph solos including Ray Woodfield's 
'Varied Mood', Goff Richards's 'Pilatus', Edward Gregson's 'Symphonic Rhapsody 
for Euphonium and Band' and Philip Wilby's arrangement of the hymn tune 
St.Clements, 'The Day Thou Gavest' (as featured on last night's Songs Of 
Praise!)
     The concert promises to be a superb night, and rumours are abound that Goff 
Richards himself will be in the audience.
     The concert comes two days after the Sandwell Youth Band visit London to 
play in the Royal Festival Hall as part of the finals of the National Festival 
of Music For Youth.  I'll tell you something, forget contest banding...if you 
want to play some decent venues, join a decent youth band!  With this band, I've 
played in Symphony Hall, the Royal Festival Hall, the pitch of Edgbaston Cricket 
Ground as part of the Test Match entertainment, Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, 
Legoland, the Austrian Conference Centre in Vienna, West Bromwich Albion 
football ground...oh yes, and we also did a live radio broadcast in Vienna, a 
live TV broadcast for Children in Need, and have made 5 recordings, 3LPs, a tape 
and a CD.  The most recent CD, Come Follow the Band, is available for just 10 
pounds, and includes Goff Richards's 'Oceans', and the test piece for both one 
of the Pontins sections and one of the National Youth Band contest sections 
this year, 'Music From Kantara' by Kenneth Downie.  Mail me if you're 
interested!  And also if you want tickets for the Stephen Mead concert!

Best wishes,
