GNY Profile Night

Sunday March 4, will prove to be an exciting date on the calendar as the Greater New York Division hosts a concert, now in its thirty third year, featuring original works from Salvation Army composers.
This year the music of Paul Lovatt-Cooper will be featured by the NYSB along with the Greater New York Youth Band and Chorus. Paul is an accomplished musician and one of the most sought after young composing talents of his generation. As well as his role as Composer in Association with the world famous Black Dyke Band he is also the Guest Conductor of the National Youth Brass Band of Scotland, Percussion Tutor with the National Children’s Brass Band of Great Britain and Percussion and Composition Tutor at the Brass Band Summer School.
Paul was born and raised in The Salvation Army by parents who were officers. He was quickly introduced into music by all of his family members who were all keen musicians. Music was studied at the University of Salford under well known names as Professor David King and Professor Peter Graham. He is in high demand as a soloist, conductor and composer and has travelled around the world.
While the final program for the evening has not been announced, his major works, “Enter the Galaxies”, “Home of legends” and “Vitae Aeternum”, will be performed. His latest exciting composition, “Fire in the Blood”, written to celebrate the 120Th Anniversary of the International Staff Band, and first performed this past June in the Royal Albert Hall, will also be featured.
You won’t want to miss this exciting night. We hope to see you there.
