Youth concert in memory of former County Chairman

The concert will be dedicated to the memory of Derek Norcross OBE, who died recently.

As a former Councillor and Chairman of the County Council, Derek took a special interest in education and promoting music services in East Sussex.

John Barnes, current Chairman of East Sussex County Council, said: "I am very glad that Audrey Norcross has given her consent to the idea of dedicating the Youth Orchestra concert to the memory of her husband. Amongst his many other activities, Derek was a great supporter of music in the county". The concert will involve a full performance of one of Anton Bruckner's most popular works, the Seventh Symphony. This work features the comparatively rare orchestration for four Wagner tubas as well as full symphony orchestra.
