Childs to feature on BBC Radio 3
For three weeks beginning on Monday 22nd March, BBC Radio 3's 'Breakfast' show will feature brass band music, curated by Paul Hindmarsh and introduced by presenters Petroc Trelawny and Georgia Mann. Following on from this show, airing tomorrow morning from 7:00 to 8:50, International euphonium virtuoso David Childs will also be featured as the soloist in Tom McKinney’s afternoon show the day after.
On Tuesday 23 March at 14:00 Tom will introduce a rich selection of recordings from the BBC Philharmonic of English music for Radio 3's 'Manchester Week'. The broadcast will be bookended with Sir Edward Elgar in the shape of his ‘Variations on an Enigma’ and ‘Falstaff’. David Matthews’ ‘Symphony No 8’ and Malcolm Arnold’s ‘Symphony No 9’ will also be featured, together with music from the 1948 film ‘Oliver Twist’ composed by Arnold Bax. David Childs will be the afternoon’s soloist with Ralph Vaughan-Williams ‘Concerto for Tuba’ and Orchestra adapted for euphonium. The work was premiered in 1954 by Philip Catelinet and the London Symphony Orchestra and was skilfully arranged by Rodney Newton and David for his multi-award winning Symphonic Euphonium II album release on the Chandos label.
