Conductor
As a conductor I have made it a habit of energising every group that I work with, be it Symphony Orchestras, Symphonic Wind Orchestras (Wind Band/Concert Band), Junior Bands or even guitar ensembles. Other engagements include leading sectional rehearsals and as an adjudicator at music competitions.
Here are a few examples of some of the wonderful music I have had the pleasure of performing with various Orchestras and Bands:
Elgar: Enigma Variations, Bruckner: 4th Symphony, Sibelius: Symphonies No. 1 and 2, Dvorak: No. 8 & 9, Copland: Appalachian Spring, Marquez: Danzon No. 2
Walton: Viola Concerto, Strauss: Oboe Concerto, Arutiunian: Trumpet Concerto, Glière: Horn Concerto Op.91., Brubeck: Paradise Utopia for Bass Trombone.
Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition (Version for Symphonic Wind Orchestra), Holst: 1st and 2nd suites for Band, Mackey: Aurora Awakes and Sasparilla, Adam Gorb: Awayday, Britten: Courtly Dances

Lake Dance
Lake Dance was inspired by the beauty of Lake Thun and the energy of the people that live around it. The different tonal colours and characters of the dances depict the waves on the lake at various times of the day, beginning with a calm and atmospheric sunrise and finishing with a joyously energetic sunset.

For Solo Guitar
“To me, composing is a game of marbles. I’m not seeking to write the greatest symphony of the 21st Century, or something along those lines. I want to entertain myself by playing with the highs, the intensity, the silences, the sonorous explosions, the nuances, the whispers, a great number of experiences of that kind. I try to write my reflections on life, nature, and art in general. I am happy with what I do and I will continue.”
Leo Brouwer
Guitarist
From Bach to Bossa Nova. I love performing a mixed variety of genres on guitar.
