Modular 20 - encore. Shepherd Group Brass Bands, Richard Wilton, York Theatre Royal, 29/06/24

Featuring the "Punch Press' cadenza.
Modular 20 celebrates the 20th anniversary of the partnership between the Shepherd Group Brass Bands and Shepherd Group. The music brings together the musical and industrial relationship through themes and rhythms evolved from visits, workshops and conversations.
4BarsRest review of the premiere on 29 June 2024:
'A fine evening was rounded off with the world premiere of ‘Modular 20’ by Liz Lane - a specially commissioned work that not only celebrated the integrated structure of the band organisation but also the cleverly designed modular building units made by Shepherd Group itself.
Getting over 140 performers on stage was an engineering feat to be proud of, whilst the performance was also a triumph of invention (with great building tools percussion) and inclusivity.’
