Out of Print: Louis Dowdeswell Album Launch

Performers

Louis Dowdeswell bandleader/trumpet
Louis Dowdeswell Big Band and Symphonic Brass

Trumpeter, producer, and bandleader Louis Dowdeswell launches his new album, Out of Print: classical music reimagined for big band and symphonic brass by acclaimed arranger Callum Au.

For one night only, 30 of the world’s finest musicians perform the album in full: Danse Macabre, Mars from The Planets, Pictures at an Exhibition, Clair de Lune, Nimrod, William Tell, Ride of the Valkyries, Jerusalem, Nessun Dorma and Carmen. The line between classical and jazz blurs across the evening, with pieces you’ve heard your whole life scored in a way you’ve never imagined. Where you’d expect strings, you get screaming trumpets. Where you’d expect stillness, you get a groove.

Whether you love classical, jazz, or just brilliant musicians doing something nobody has done before, this is for you. Marking the launch of Out of Print, and Louis’ last UK solo appearance for the foreseeable future, it promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime concert from one of the world’s most original brass voices.

Duration: approx. 2 hours (incl. interval)
