The concert on June 15 will feature solos that spotlight Amy McCabe – Concertpiece for Cornet (1993) by James Curnow – and Jazzie Piggot – Capriccio (2002) by Rodney Newton. The Band will also present six ensemble works ranging in their inspiration from Renaissance history – Madrigalum (2006) by Philip Sparke – to contemporary pop – Superman (1978) by John Williams.
