Listen to a discussion between Mark Good, editor of British Bandsman, and Edward Gregson as he chats about what he calls ‘the obsession with contesting’ and how it’s time to rebalance our thinking in order to ensure that bands can rightly be taken seriously in the wider musical world.

BBC Radio 3 is to broadcast two concerts featuring works by Edward Gregson performed by the BBC Philharmonic and conducted by Ben Gernon.

On Monday 29 June you can hear a performance of the Euphonium Concerto with soloist David Childs, and on Tuesday 30 June the premiere performance of A Vision in a Dream (concerto for oboe and orchestra) with soloist Jennifer Galloway, recorded on 8 February at Leeds Town Hall.
