SBMS appoints new MD

We are pleased to announce David Rowland as our new Musical Director.

Some may recognise David as our trumpet soloist from our concert in May 2023, From the Steppes to Ancient Persia, where he played Arutiunian’s Trumpet Concerto.

Having enjoyed that concert and working with SBMS, when the role became vacant, he was keen to work with us again.

David first took the baton for SBMS during the first half of last night’s concert, conducting Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, and Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Scherzo and Nocture movements).

We’re very much looking forward to working with David going forward. His next concert leading us will be The Symphony – An Exploration in May.
