David Stanhope Music
Welcome to the website of David Stanhope!

Two new CDs are out! The more personal one is the one from Tall Poppies - "Sydney Brass plays Stanhope" - which includes most of my works for brass instruments in small to large ensembles. I also feature as one of the players on bass trombone, and I included some of my horn archive recordings featured on this website. I would be happy to send a copy of this CD to any reputable brass ensemble who might be interested in playing any of the music, just contact me by email.

The other CD is a popular offering from ABC Classics which they are associating with Damien Beaumont's ABCFM programme. Hence it is titled "Just Classics" although it does include a few lesser-known works, including my own "Droylsden Wakes". The only thing I am not happy about with this disc is the insult of not putting my name on the front cover. The name "Adelaide Symphony Orchestra" is there, but surely the conductor's should be with it, not just on the back! My name is obviously not considered a selling-point.

Other news is that I conducted several performances with the Kiev Ballet on their recent Australian tour, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty in Canberra, Perth and Adelaide. This collaboration was a great success, and there is a chance of further work for me with them in the future. A wonderful company of brilliant dancers who made me very welcome.

David Stanhope is a free-lance conductor with wide experience in orchestral, opera, chamber and film music. He is a composer, especially for wind band, with many publications. As an instrumentalist, David Stanhope was a french horn player for many years before switching to bass trombone; he is also a virtuoso pianist.
