Derwent Brass present Mussorgsky, Shostakovich and more at Derby Cathedral.

Our friends, 2024 RPS Inspiration Award winners, and RPS Corporate Members Derwent Brass present the latest instalment of their Masterworks Concert Series at Derby Cathedral, with a rare performance of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, in the iconic brass band arrangement by Elgar Howarth. 

This performance pays special homage to Howarth, a towering figure in brass music, who sadly passed away earlier this year. The programme also features Shostakovich’s vibrant Festive Overture, Holst’s evocative A Moorside Suite, and Golland’s moving Euphonium Concerto No. 1, with special guest soloist Adam Bokaris, Principal Euphonium of the world-famous Black Dyke Band.

An unforgettable evening of masterful music, rich sonorities, and virtuosic artistry, all set within the stunning surroundings of Derby Cathedral.

This event is supported by the John Bagley Music Trust.
