presenting the 51st State Band at Putney Arts Theatre on Friday 16th November 2012

Registered Charity number 1139579

STATE BAND

A very warm welcome to you all, from everyone in the 51st State Band… A very warm welcome to tonight’s concert from everyone in the 51st State Band. We are thrilled to bring you a fun and varied programme and hope that you will enjoy it!

The 51st State Band has introduced hundreds of children to the joys of making music together, and today comprises over 100 young musicians from the age of 7 upwards. Our musicians learn to play in a mutually supportive environment, often achieving the impossible, simply by turning up every week, working hard and learning from those more experienced musicians around them – it is these young people who have taught us to expect more from music-making, to look beyond conventional wisdom, to place music at the heart of a life transforming journey.

Many musicians playing tonight have been with us since the start and have now themselves become accomplished young instrumentalists many of who decide to go off to study music either at colleges or at university.

We are delighted tonight to welcome Jeffery Wilson as our MC! Jeffery Wilson is one of the country’s foremost composers and educators in music. He studied composition at the Royal College of Music with John Lambert, Herbert Howells and later with Aladar Majorossy, Gordon Jacob and in Paris with Olivier Messiaen. Jeffery has been commissioned by dozens of top artists to compose especially for them, producing over 200 works to date. He’s been composer in residence in over a dozen European cities, and with some notable orchestras, such as the London Festival Orchestra, London Mozart Players and the Northern Sinfonia.

We first met Jeffery over 15 years ago when he came to examine all our woodwind players here in Wandsworth. His infectious character, creativity, encouragement and belief in all of our young musicians to achieve greatness at every level and innate ability to enthuse and motivate all who come across him is truly inspirational.
