The Australian composer and conductor David Stanhope isn’t just active in his own orchestra; he also composes a lot of chamber music and operas. First, he wrote for wind orchestras and brass players; he played the horn himself and later the bass trombone. In three episodes we’ll show off the versatility of David Stanhope. In the first episode, we’ll show you parts of the opera Dracula and other works.
