Nick Hudson is to give the premi??re of Elizabeth Raum's Fantasy in a new rescoring for Trombone and Brass Band. The performance will take place in Ottawa in June and will feature Nick accompanied by The Maple Leaf Brass Band conducted by Dave Druce.

This is a very exciting addition to the repertoire for trombone and band. Elizabeth has created a very accessible piece which demonstrates her ability to write effectively and sympathetically for the instrument. Dorothy Gates, trombonist with the New York Staff Band has also been instrumental in the realisation of the piece and has scored the work for brass band. Many people will know of Dorothy???s compositions and arrangements and it has been a real privilege to work with people with such enviable talent. Nick Hudson
