 Dave Danford set for RNCM showcaseOn Sunday 3rd February 2008 Dave Danford will be appearing at the internationally attended annual Day of Percussion at the Royal Northern College of Music.
Dave’s involvement in the event takes the form of an hour long session dedicated to commissioning and arranging new music for solo percussion. The session will be primarily performance-based and include the first performances of two new commissions. The first of these is a three movement work for marimba and piano by Welsh composer Gareth Wood. The other is a soprano saxophone and marimba duet called Maximon from established English composer Andrew Keeling. Completing the programme will be the premiere of Dave’s arrangement of Vaughan Williams’ Concerto Accademico which will be performed with the RNCM String Orchestra. Other artists appearing on the day include Anthony Kerr (jazz vibraphone), Paul Patrick (percussion ensemble) and Nick Petrella (cymbals). The event will culminate in a concert from the popular Backbeat Percussion Quartet. Tickets for the full day are available to book online now from the RNCM website and they will also be available on the day (subject to availability), along with tickets for individual sessions.
