An ensemble from the woodwind department reached the final of the inaugural Band Cymru competition this summer. Chamber Winds were among 12 finalists competing for the £10,000 prize.
The judging panel was made up of three experts: Norwegian Tuba soloist, Øystein Baadsvik; Barry Forgie, known for his work with the BBC Big Band; and Welsh trumpet player Gareth Small.
Three other bands from the college – Symphonic Brass, The Teddy Smith Big Band and James Clark’s Lonely Hearts Rugby Clwb – were also among the 12 finalists. And the competition was eventually won by the Cory Band, RWCMD’s brass band in residence.
