The Rolls Royce Derby band are proud to present an afternoon with brass legend Steve Mead.

Englishman Steven Mead needs no introduction to brass enthusiasts around the world as his playing and teaching have become known to virtually all who have a love for the instrument known as the euphonium.

As a soloist his career as a professional solo performer continues to break new ground. With over 75 solo performances a year his relentless schedule sees him touring almost constantly.

This remarkable solo career followed on from the successes he achieved as a member of several of the UK’s leading brass bands. Nowadays he travels constantly and performs regularly with some of the finest brass, wind and symphonic ensembles in the world.

He has been described as one of the world’s most recorded solo brass artists with over 70 CDs to his credit. He is the owner of a music label, Bocchino Music which produces and distributes his albums.

His innovation is also evident with his premiere performances of new concerti and major works by Martin Ellerby, Philip Sparke, Torstein Aagaard Nilsen, Tadeusz Kassatti, John Reeman, Derek Bourgeois, Vladimir Cosma, Rolf Rudin, Thomas Dos, Howard Snell, Hermann Pallhuber, Stephen Roberts, to name but a few. To date he has given over 500 world premiere performances.

He is also well known and respected by his high profile work in brass pedagogy. He is the Professor of Euphonium the Royal Northern College of Music, in Manchester UK and also at teaches at several specialist schools across Europe, and in Japan. He was recently given the award of Fellow of the RNCM .

As a designer and instrument consultant Steven has worked with Besson/Buffet Crampon for over thirty years.

He has also been an adjudicator at some of the leading brass band, wind band and solo contests.
