David Thornton is rapidly becoming one of the most influential figures in the development of the brass band and its young musicians.  Frank got him on the business side of a Brasspass.tv microphone between their rehearsal and concert in Stoller Hall as they were preparing for that afternoon’s performance of a favourite piece of both soloist and conductor.  As conductor of Brighouse and Rastrick, Head of Brass Band Studies at RNCM,  brass teacher at Chet’s plus a flourishing solo career, David has his finger firmly on the brass band pulse.  This is a conversation not to be missed and the performance of the Horovitz Euphonium Concerto is available to download from our website!
