On 25th of October, I’ll be flying out to Philadelphia to meet up with some friends I made at the Brass in Concert Championships a couple of years ago. They are of course?Atlantic Brass Band who are based in Glassboro, New Jersey where they are also brass band in residence at Rowan University. While I’m over there, I will be giving some workshops/master classes as well as solo recitals and a concert. In a way, the trip could be considered a sort of family homecoming, as my late grandfather was actually born in Bayonne, New Jersey way back in 1917!
