'Dark Rain' Australian Performance

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.
