The theme of the Concert is A Selection of Orchestral Favourites, and will feature “Fanfare for A Common Man” by Aaron Copland, and “Overture to Candide” by Leonard Bernstein. As well as our very own MD, Paul Speed, performing Gabriel’s Oboe on piccolo trumpet we will be showcasing the UK premiere of Derek Bourgeouis’ “Concerto for Bass Trombone” performed by Jonathan Warburton.
As one of England’s busiest bass trombonists on the music scene today, Jonathan is actively involved in a wide array of musical performances. After graduating from the Birmingham Conservatoire with a first class honours degree in bass trombone, he spent two years with the National Youth Wind Orchestra and performed with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra.
A versatile performer, Jonathan plays in several different big bands and is an active member of the British Trombone Society where he regularly performs new material for bass trombone. Jonathan has had over 30 original works written for him by modern composers. As an educator and leader in the newest concepts of teaching low brass performance, Jonathan has conducted master classes not only in England, but invitations from prominent universities and music conservatories have taken him to the United States, Australia, South Africa and Canada. Jonathan recently recorded his own solo CD on the Warwick label entitled, “Moving On”. Some of his compositions are listed on England’s examination syllabuses.
