British Open Adjudicators Announced
The adjudicators for the 171st British Open Championships have been announced by the Mortimer family. On the panel is Stephen Roberts, the composer of the newly commissioned test piece, 'Star Crossed Lovers'. Anne Crookston and David Hirst will be joining him at Symphony Hall on the 6th September.
It's the first time that the panel has been revealed in advance of the contest day, with Karyn Mortimer explaining, “The decision to announce the panel ahead of the contest forms part of our ongoing commitment to further enhance the British Open's position as the world's premiere elite level brass band competition. The decision has been made on the advice of our Musical Advisor Dr Robert Childs as well as taking into account opinions expressed by our stakeholders. This also forms part of many other exciting developments that we will explore for the British Open and Spring Festival competitions as we secure a sustainable future for these great events. Anne, David and Stephen are musicians of the highest integrity, experience and professionalism and we are delighted that they have agreed to adjudicate the event.”
