Regarded as one of the brass band movement’s leading conductors, educators, performers and teachers, Ian Porthouse returns to the Royal College of Music, following his appearance as Musical Director of the award-winning Tredegar Band in the summer.

In this performance he directs the RCM Brass Band in a concert that includes Simon Dobson’s work inspired by the life and work of Bartók, a composer inextricably linked with his birthplace, Hungary.

Hear music by internationally acclaimed Nottingham-born composer Judith Bingham, and Ryan Richards’ brass band arrangement of the dynamic overture to Beethoven’s first work for the stage.
