Starting in London and ending in Glasgow, these 2 talented Wind Ensembles, led by directors John Gilchrist and Michael Pakaluk will finish their tour in spectacular fashion at the New Auditorium of the RSNO on Friday 17 June with a free concert.

They will share this concert with the talented West of Scotland Schools Concert Band from the Strathclyde region of Scotland, directed by Nigel Boddice, MBE. The evening will feature a varied programme of music from Ralph Vaughan Williams, John Philip Sousa, Philip Sparke and many more.

The Lynbrook High School Wind Ensemble is an advanced wind ensemble, to which admissions are only by audition. The ensemble often tours through the USA and has performed at the California state conference, but also has performed around the world, including in China, Germany, Spain, Costa Rica and France.

The Monta Vista Wind Ensemble is the top-level band of Monta Vista High School. The ensemble hosts annual performances, including a holiday, winter and spring concert, as well as several festival performances. The Monta Vista Wind Ensemble has performed in many great concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, as well as at the California All State Music Education Conference.

The West of Scotland Schools Concert Band is directed by Nigel Boddice MBE and was established in 1996 following the break-up of the former Strathclyde Region and the demise of the Strathclyde Schools Wind Band. Since then, WSSCB has continued to provide professional training and performance opportunities to talented musicians from schools throughout west and central Scotland. Nigel selects a highly entertaining and challenging programme each year, highlighting the many excellent players within each section, allowing for solo opportunities and showcasing emerging and established Scottish composers. A team of professional tutors led by Course Director, and professional horn player, Fergus Kerr, ensures that each member is encouraged to fulfil their potential whilst enjoying the unique team spirit which is fostered and nurtured within this highly talented ensemble every summer.
