'Dark Rain' Australian Performance

3/9/2017

0 Comments

 
On the 2nd September, saxophonists Rob Buckland & Matt Styles, with the WAAPA Symphonic Wind Ensemble gave a performance of Andy Scott’s ‘Dark Rain’ at the All Saints’ College Centre for Performing Arts in Perth, Australia.

‘Dark Rain’ is one continuous movement and after a dramatic opening exclamation from the two soloists, journeys through a collision of contemporary classical, bebop, big band and swing before concluding with a release of tension in a final chorale.

‘”Dark Rain’ will leave the audience with no doubt of the versatility and musical power of the saxophone.” – Matt Styles in interview with Scenestr.

Introducing Kickstart flute, a fantastic new online flute teaching resource by flautist Clare Southworth, in association with Trevor James Flutes.

​Upon starting formal flute lessons, Clare speaks of finding the beginner tutor books rather narrow in their choices of music so "my idea of writing a beginner method then was to include all genres, to encourage a love of all music”. The tutorials are based around 24 duets encompassing all genres of music, composed by Andy Scott, ‘one of the most versatile and exciting composers writing today.’
“ Kickstart flute is a completely new approach to learning, it’s challenging and it’s good to have a challenge, with the reward being able to play fabulous original music by Andy Scott”
​- Clare Southworth
