XBY at the World Music Conference

On the weekend of 22nd-23rd July, I attended the World Music Conference in Kerkrade, The Netherlands. I competed in the first division of the international wind ensemble competition as tenor saxophonist with XBY Concert Band.

I am delighted to say that XBY received a gold medal for its performances of Philip Sparke’s The Unknown Journey, a whirlwind tour of angular atonal melodies, frenetic textural collages and luscious Ravellian orchestrations, and Frank Ticheli’s Angels in the Architecture, a musical exploration of the conflict between biblical good and evil, juxtaposed with Jewish and Renaissance folk melodies and featuring musical whirly-tubes and wineglasses.
