Wessex Strikes Gold In 50th Anniversary Celebrations

The Wessex Band Summer School is delighted to announce that Paul Saggers has written a new commission for its 50th Anniversary entitled WESSEX GOLD.

Following Paul’s success with his work Ironbright at the 7th European Composer Competition in Montreux, organised by the European Brass Band Association, funds were provided to allow Paul to commission a couple of pieces and we are delighted that Paul has agreed to mark our special year as the longest running Summer School in the Country with this work. The first performance will take place at the end of course concert on Saturday afternoon 3rd August at The Exchange, Sturminster Newton.
