    Elfriede - G. Swift

    Just watched this video of the Mountbatten Festival of Music held on March, 2023 at Royal Albert Hall. Royal Marines Corporal Matthew Fletcher played “Elfried” by George Swift. Very fine job!

    That's really nice! Thanks for finding it and sorting out the link to take us right to the solo. I just added it to the Euphonium Videos page on Facebook (it's a page I created):

    There's a link below the video with a description of their program and bios on leaders and soloists. Below is a snapshot of info on Corporal Matthew Fletcher. Although it's a bit fuzzy. For a better read, go to link with description. I see he studied with David Childs at the Royal Welsh College of Music under David Childs.
