Sunday Bandstand 16 October 2022

Ivor Bosanko, the noted Salvation Army composer, his musical compositions have been for both vocal and brass groups. He was born in Cardiff, Wales, and attended the Royal Welsh College of Music. He was Bandmaster at Cardiff Canton Corps.

In 1975 he moved to the United States to become the Divisional Music Director in the Pendel Division of the Eastern Territory. He moved to California in 1979, becoming the Territorial Music Secretary for the Western Territory.

Ivor and his wife contributed much to young people at music camps and workshops. They were known for caring deeply about people’s spiritual lives, while using music as a means for spiritual health and growth. Ivor retired in 2001.

In this week’s show we are featuring the cornet solo The Heavenly Light by Ivor and played by the Canadian cornet player Robert Venables who is accompanied by the Canadian Staff with Bandmaster John Lam in 2014.
