The band are delighted to announce that we will be teaming up with Dutch conductor Erik van de Kolk for the upcoming West of England Regional Championships in Torquay! Everyone in the band is looking forward to welcoming Erik to Bristol!

​
Erik studied conducting at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, and in 2011 won the European Brass Band Championship Conductors Competition in Montreux, taking home not only the jury honours, but also the band and audience prizes.

He spent a decade at Brassband Rijnmond until the summer of 2019 and in 2012 conducted the European Youth Brass Band and was guest conductor with the Royal Military Band between 2015 and 2016. He has also worked with Stavanger Band in Norway, aiding their preparations for the 2018 European Championships.

Erik is currently conductor of Noordlimburgse Brassband, as well as Gelders Fanfare Orchestra, Emergo Castricum Fanfare Orchestra, and the Vriezenveen Symphonic Wind Band. This will be his conducting debut in the UK.


Speaking about the exciting link, Band Chairman James Bryant commented: "We're delighted to secure the services of such a talented conductor. Erik's enthusiasm and work ethic are an ideal fit for us after retaining the Welsh Open title. We're really looking forward to welcoming Erik to Bristol and working with him in the run up to Torquay."

This farewell concert is something that I am looking forward to. Sure, it will be a hard thing for me and also for the fans. While it is not something that I have hoped for, I am still confident that it will be the best concert ever. I want to be there to support this great man, and I will cherish this memory for the rest of my life. I hope that you become the best artist when it all comes down to it.
