GOLDEN GATE BRASS COMMISSIONS ALEX TURLEY
Thursday 20th December 2018
In 2018 Golden Gate Brass received the Lorne and Ann Cole award enabling them to commission a work by Australian composer, Alex Turley. They worked together with Turley to present the world premiere of Cloudscapes, in St Luke’s Church South Melbourne alongside a program of quintessential works for brass quintet. The quintet felt extremely privileged to have received the opportunity to work with Alex and love the work that has been produced throughout this process.
Alex had this to say:
- “It’s very exciting to have a work written especially for the group. We get to workshop and premiere a new work and it’s great to add a piece to the brass quintet repertoire.”
Be sure to check out what Alex is up to at alexturley.com and keep an ear out.
Golden Gate Brass appeared in concert through the support of the Lorne and Ann Cole Prize from the Ursula Hoff Institute and the Australian National Academy of Music.
