BASBWE have funded several commissions for the programme
of music and will be leading an extensive educational project with
local primary school children, building on the work of

‘A Rumble in the Sky’ from the 2017 project. MWO’s conductor
Phil Shotton said about the 40th anniversary programme,

‘The fantastic programme of music we have planned includes
three world premiere performances; a three-movement work
by our own bass trombonist and composer Adam Dutch, a
Bass Clarinet Concerto composed by Bill Connor (soloist: Andy
Roberts) and a work by award-winning Scottish composer Tom
Harrold who has had one of his recent compositions featured as
the opening piece at the last night of the Proms.

We will also be performing ‘A Rumble in the Sky’ by Bill Connor
which is the culmination of a two-year educational project
between the composer, the wind orchestra and local primary
school children. This piece will also feature several school and
community choirs.

We will also be performing some show stopping works for wind
orchestra alongside music from the stage and screen. We are
extremely grateful for the support from BASBWE and are looking
forward to further collaborations with workshops and rehearsals
as we head towards the big 40!
