The Brighton Youth Orchestra String Ensemble will be performing at the clubhouse on Sunday 8 December 2019, at 4pm.
This intimate and cosy concert will bring together the award-winning Brighton Youth Orchestra String Ensemble, conducted by Andy Sherwood, and ex-BYO player and percussionist Adam Bushell.
The programme will feature popular works by Bach, and Vivaldi’s Double Concerto, and Adam will be treating us to a vibraphone concerto.
Doors open at 3.30pm, and there will be an open bar. Suggested donation per ticket: £12. All proceeds will go to encore, the charitable organisation supporting young musicians across Brighton & Hove.
Adam Bushell is a versatile and eclectic percussionist, who started playing music in his parents’ village band aged 7. He regularly performs traditional folk music, contemporary classical music and experimental improvisation. He is also a music teacher with East Sussex Music and Brighton & Hove Music and Arts, and in 2016 directed young percussionists in a performance of Ionisation by Edgard Varese – a classic of percussion repertoire which is normally only played by professionals and conservatoire students.
Adam has coached SDYO, ESYO, the Brighton Youth Orchestra and o360 (inclusive orchestra), and for many years was a regular tutor at the Dartington International Summer School.
All proceeds will go to encore, the charitable organisation supporting young musicians across Brighton & Hove.
