Liz was invited to be Guest Editor for The Sampler November edition, a role writing and commissioning blogs, creating a Soundcloud playlist, and previewing up and coming future performances.
Her own blog, Commissions and Collaborations, discussed collaborative opportunities for composers and also made reference to the other two blogs: Beyond traditional brass band boundaries and Building an accessible repertoire, written by respected colleagues regularly involved with brass bands, and also OpenUp Music. The playlist incorporated a varied and eclectic selection of composers and compositions from Edward Gregson to Manu Delago. Thanks go to all those who were involved, gave permission for their work to be used and their time to contribute.
