In the Press

[Highams]

UK Euphonium makes the Italian Press!

Willson Euphonium artist Charley Brighton was featured in the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta Del Mezzogiorno following his premiere of Masquerade by Lorenzo Melissano. After hearing the recording from the recital at St. Mary’s Slough with Malcolm Stowell (piano), the composer published a full article in the Viva La Citta section of the publication, together with photographs.

‘The music was a joy to play and rehearse, particularly considering it was his first work for the Euphonium. We now have another new piece from the composer, ‘Centurion’ which we will premiere in February early next year’.

Doing the Double
In November, Charley will feature a double recital with two different programmes, the first at lunchtime in St. Mary’s Slough, and the second at All Saints Church Wokingham in the evening. Both recitals will have premieres in their programmes.

3 New Works
Sonata for Euphonium is a new 3 movement suite written for Charley and Malcolm by American composer, Elaine Fine, from Ohio. Another American composer, Joe Miserendino from Pennsylannia has written a short but challenging ‘Brief Interlude’ especially for the recital and Terry Treherne’s beautiful new composition, ‘Tranquillity’ will feature the organ in the accompaniment.

Garry Hedley (Euphonium) will join Charley as a guest in a duet at St. Mary’s and both recitals are free. More details can be found online at;
