Loxley Silver Band Perform and Record New Barry Gilbey Composition
Loxley Silver Band are commissioning, performing and recording up to four unique compositions by the internationally renowned artist Barry Gilbey. This exciting project will create new music which crosses genres from brass band into popular music.
Loxley Silver Band is a traditional brass band based in North Sheffield. Gilbey is a world class modern composer and this is his first composition specifically for traditional brass band. The commissions will be performed live at a world premiere in Sheffield and professionally recorded by Loxley Silver Band. Both the Loxley Silver Band and Barry Gilbey intend that this collaboration will appeal to both traditional brass band and popular music audiences and that the partnership will push the boundaries of the brass band movement in a new and contemporary manner.
