It is with a heavy heart that we mourn the passing of Peter Gane.
BTS President, Simon Minshall, writes, 'Peter was a real source of knowledge and so supportive of young players. His work in founding the BTS, serving as the Society's first President, is here for all of us to enjoy and carry in his legacy. Our thoughts are with his family.'
Peter’s remarkable journey began in Poole, Dorset, and led him to become one of Britain’s leading brass specialists. His passion for the trombone took him to the Royal Manchester College of Music and then to the London Symphony Orchestra at just 19. He dedicated his life to music and education, impacting countless young musicians through his work with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and the European Union Youth Orchestra.
But beyond that, he was just such a lovely man - he always greeted with a smile, never talked down to anyone, exuded energy and enthusiasm, and tirelessly helped and supported whoever and whenever he could.
Rest in peace Peter
