The Trumpet Concerto received it’s premiere with David Elton and Victoria Brass, conducted by Matt van Emmerik. The performance was part of a large programme presented by Victoria Brass at Scotch College, Melbourne, and live streamed on Brass Banned by Tim Kelly and his team

Commissioned by the ABC, David Elton (Sydney Symphony Orchestra Principal Trumpet) recorded the Concerto with members of the Sydney Symphony strings in 2021. This current performance was the live premiere, to an appreciative audience in a wonderful setting. Dave has been a tireless supporter of Andrew’s music, and contemporary Australian brass music in general. Likewise, Matt van Emmerik continues to present all-star Victoria Brass concerts with varied and challenging programmes every year.

The Concerto is published by Wirripang in versions for trumpet and piano, and trumpet and strings. The brass band arrangement will be published by BrookWright Music in the UK
