Welcome to the Euphonium & Baritone Homepages of Charley Brighton
"If you love some instrument, if you like the sound of it, it's like no other sound. It's really yours. It comes from deep within, and it's something you can always connect with inside. How good can that be? Your music, your sound-it's your friend for life. You can express how you feel, send your self into the larger world. You will always have that voice. That's a pretty powerful thing."
Yo-Yo-Ma, Cellist.

After some 15 years, I met up with Terry Treherne, who I had previously played under when he was Musical Director to the
Alder Valley (Aldershot) Brass Band. Our last performance together was as runners-up in the London regional qualifying rounds of the National Brass Band Championships at Watford Town Hall in 1990, playing Eric Ball's Journey Into Freedom.
The photograph was taken at Maida Vale Studio 1 after a live concert recording of his new
euphonium solo 'Recollections' with the B.B.C. Elstree Concert Band.
From America, a great selection of solos for Euphonium / Tuba and music for 10 piece brass and full brass band;
Amazing works for low brass from the U.S.A., featuring Euphonium / Tuba and Quartet music;
The most lyrical of works for Euphonium & Tuba from North of the border;
On November 3rd. 2004, I signed a contract with Willi Kurath, Director of Willson Band Instruments in Flums, Switzerland,
to promote their Euphoniums, and as a result, I now have a new top-of-the-range 2900 model to use in my performances!
In addition, Joe Miserendino from the U.S.A. composed"A Willson Concertante" to celebrate the new partnership.
It is in 3 movements, Con Bravura, Nocturne & Con Brio, listen to them here.
Now available, the Wind Band & Orchestra version
Listen to the premiere here.
The Piano version (catalogue number 50103).
