Surtaal Suite No. 1 at Proms in the Park | 2018

I love working with RSVP Bhangra! Our project - SurtaalSymphony - has many different elements but this was the first, on a boiling hot day in the beautiful surroundings of the Speech House Hotel, Forest of Dean, in front of an audience of over 1000.

RSVP Bhangra, Lydbrook Band, Ian Holmes (conductor), Proms in the Park, Speech House Hotel, 30 June 2018. Commissioned by Lydbrook Band.
