In a real coup for the Irish Youth Wind Ensemble, they will perform at the prestigious Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow.
The IYWE will get to play alongside some of the best musicians in Britain, at the British Association of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles (BASBWE) on Friday 29th June.
James Cavanagh, Music Director at the IYWE, and Timothy Reynish will both be conducting at the Glasgow concert.
Reynish is one of the most influential figures in symphonic wind band music in the world. He was Head of Wind and Percussion at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester for over 25 years. He is currently Senior Professor of Wind and Brass at the Guildhall School of Music, London.
James Cavanagh has conducted orchestras across Europe, the USA and Japan. He is dedicated to education and outreach projects, working with the National Concert Hall and the National Symphony Orchestra.
The IYWE is committed to offering young wind, brass and percussion players the opportunity to study, perform and experience music composed for wind ensembles. Some 800 young musicians have played with the ensemble, benefiting greatly by the experience.
The BASBWE conference in Glasgow offers another great chance to perform for and learn from some of the most talented young musicians in Britain and Ireland.

The outspoken and controversial Sinead O’Connor is due to appear at the Oxegen festival at Punchestown Racecourse on Sunday 8th July. Love her or loathe her, she should be one of the most interesting acts at the event.
Ireland’s Sinead O’Connor is probably as well known for her interviews and personal life as she is for her music. She’s been ordained as a priest in a small Catholic sect, came out of the closet in 2000, put herself back in soon afterwards and was boycotted by radio stations across the USA after her infamous Saturday Night Live appearance in 1992, when she tore up a photo of the Pope during a performance.
But Oxegen is about the bringing great music to Ireland, and she’ll be sure to deliver. With a back catalogue that takes in reggae, gospel, traditional Irish music, pop and rock, Sinead O’Connor alone is almost as diverse as all the rest of the Oxegen festival.
Oxegen 2007 promises to be the greatest rock n roll event in Ireland, with acts like Snow Patrol, The Killers, Tori Amos, My Chemical Romance, Wu Tang Clan, Daft Punk and Mika among the acts playing over the weekend.
There are also still plenty of rumours swirling around, with some commentators suggesting that Bono and Radiohead will be appearing.
Whether any of the rumours turn out to be true or not, fans know they will be in for a great weekend.
Over 80,000 music lovers will be at Oxegen 2007, on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th July. Tickets sold out in just over an hour as lucky fans got there hands on tickets for some of the best music in Ireland.
As well as many established bands, two unsigned acts will be part of the Oxegen festival. The winners of the Platform II Battle of the Bands will have a dream come true as they join the bill at Oxegen ’07.
It should be one of the biggest music events in Ireland.
