I am posting this information for a friend of mine who is organizing the 1st Melbourne International Festival of Brass. Their mission statement is as follows:
17-24 August 2003

" The festival will recognize and celebrate the contribution of brass playing to the Australian community, as well as stimulating the development of Australia's youth through inspirational Australian and international pedagogues and performers. "

A brief artists list is below:

Trumpets:

Niklas Eklund
David Staff
Geoff Payne
Tristram Williams
Urban Agnas*
Tora Thorslund*
James Morrison
Horns:

Hector McDonald
Philip Hall
Ben Jacks
Geoff Lierse
Markus Maskuniitty*
Geoff O'Reily
Marnie Sebire
Trombones:

Michael Mulcahy
Michael Bertoncello
Jonas Bylund*
Euphonium:

David Childs
Tubas:

Anne Jelle Visser
Oystein Baadsvik
Jens Bjorn-Larsen*
Fabian Russell

Ensembles:
*The Stockholm Chamber Brass
ECQ

I believe that it will be an event that everyone would certainly take alot away from. If you are unsure of some of the names on this list, just go to their website. I believe it is certainly a change from the ITEA festivals as it will be presenting ideas for all instruments in the brass family from some top performers; some that some of you may have never heard of. Further information can be located at the website.
