Perth Tour

UWA ENSEMBLE IN RESIDENCE

26th August - 7th September 2018

In September 2018, after a busy first half of the year for everyone, Golden Gate Brass traveled to Perth to undertake a residency with the University of Western Australia. While there they worked alongside the students, sharing their expertise and experience to help develop the next generation of brass students in WA. The residency included giving seminars, workshops and performances both as a quintet and in large combined ensembles alongside the students. On Sunday the 2nd of September, Golden Gate Brass held their own concert at Callaway Auditorium in UWA, performing works by Ewazen, Hillborg, Bernstein and Caleb Hudson. We were very lucky to be joined on the tour by young trumpet superstar, Sam Beagley, who stepped in for Michael while he was away working with Orchestra Victoria. The ensemble really enjoyed their first tour to WA and can’t wait until their next western adventure.
