Sunday Bandstand 27 March 2022
Simon Dobson was born in Cornwall in 1981. Having grown up in a brass banding family, he was educated at Launceston College, he moved to London aged 18 on a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music.
While at college, he wrote music for many different ensembles including, wind and string orchestras, percussion ensemble and the RCM symphony orchestra. He received his first commission, from the London Philharmonic Orchestra in 2002. In 2004 he was a featured composer at the Three Choirs Festival.
In 2002 he won the European Brass Band composers' competition in Brussels, which led to him being commissioned to write the test work for the 2003 English regional Fourth section brass band competition, Lydian Pictures.
At RCM, he was part of a group of students who formed 'Zone One Brass', a championship section band which he conducted for four years before moving away from London in 2004 after earning his B.Mus.
In 2007, he wrote the set piece for the European Brass band championships 'B' section, and his work The Drop, has been performed several times since.
He has been Composer in Residence with both the Leyland Band, the Brighouse and Rastrick and the Fairey Band.
In this week's show we are featuring his march Wheal Martyn played by the Hebden Bridge Band MD: Ian Craddock.
