Re: Euphonium concerto alert
I got to hear David Childs play live several years ago. I don't think anyone will be disappointed.

I have a ticket for the concert tonight but... it's been cancelled due to "inclement weather" which is no more than a modest rain.
Since they got off one performance last night they are unlikely to put this together again.
WRR concert hall has this program scheduled for Feb 23

Re: Euphonium concerto alert
I caught the radio rebroadcast of the concert.
It was not a conventional concerto with compelling themes, however, it was neither avant-garde nor minimalist either.
i would describe it as... atmospheric.
The solo and orchestra parts seemed to operate without much regard for each other. The few virtuosic bits seemed out of place.
