The Great British Film Orchestra has just finished its inaugural 'The Music of John Williams Vs Hans Zimmer' UK Tour!
2 months, 35 days and over 50 performances.
I was originally approached to play First Trumpet for the Tour; as things progressed, I ended up as the Orchestral contractor too. It has been the greatest privilege to be involved and I will cherish the memories for a long time to come!
Such an amazing group of people, with too many accomplishments between them to name! I am thoroughly looking forward to the rest of the year!
A huge thanks to Xperience Live for launching the project and to the unbelievable creative team and Musical Director who brought it to life!
