It could be said that the formation of the Bermuda Brass Quintet is a result of a musical legacy that goes back many years. My brother Kevin and I have had several conversations in the past about how we would love to be part of a high level quintet comprised of Bermudians. We both had degrees in music and were well aware of Kenneth’s successes as a tuba player and composer. Our friendship with Kenneth is one that spans back through high school and even into early childhood. All three of us are Alumni of the Warwick Academy Music Department under the baton of Mr. Warren Jones. Wind the clock back several years and you will find that we were also neighbours at Frith’s Apartments, Happy Valley in Pembroke when we were young children. Anyone who has known Kevin and me for long knows that our formative years of music education came through The Salvation Army. However, the legacy and connection of music through The Salvation Army reaches as far back as Kenneth’s great- grandfather, Band Master Bean, who was a major musical influence on my father, Winslow Hayward, when he was a child. Considering this history, it is not hard to see why we would be looking for an opportunity to perform together as a quintet. One question my brother and I have had for years is who would play trumpet for this group? After returning to Bermuda from school in 1998, it wasn’t long before I met Conrad Roach and we started looking into opportunities to perform together. One of those opportunities was the formation of the Brassworks Quartet. Conrad has established himself as the trumpet player to call on the island and that meant there was only one part missing to complete this potential group. In recent years, we have been fortunate to hear young and upcoming trumpeter Matthew Ross. I have known Matthew’s family for years and as he is a former student of Conrad’s, I have enjoyed watching his progression from student to professional. While studying in Toronto, Matthew met and worked with Kevin professionally in Canada. With five players in place, it didn’t take me long to pitch the idea of having a Bermuda Brass Quintet performance as part of the Festival with former Artistic Director Karen Pollard. This will be the first time all five of us have performed together and I am truly excited! About the performers Kenneth Amis Kenneth Amis was born and raised in Bermuda. He began playing the piano at a young age and upon entering high school took up the tuba and developed an interest in performing and writing music. A Suite for Bass Tuba, composed when he was only fifteen, marked his first published work. A year later, at age sixteen, he enrolled in Boston University where he majored in composition. After graduating from Boston University he attended the New England Conservatory of Music where he received his Master’s Degree in composition. An active composer, Mr. Amis has been commissioned to write for the annual Cohen Wing opening at Symphony Hall in Boston, the New England Conservatory Wind Ensemble, the University of Scranton, the College Band Directors National Association and a consortium of twenty universities and music organizations. He has also undertaken commissions and residencies with Carlisle Middle School (MA), Belmont High School (MA), Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the New England Conservatory of Music and the Massachusetts Instrumental and Choral Conductors Association. Audiences around the world have enjoyed Mr. Amis’s music through performances by such groups as the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Academy of Music Symphonic Winds, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the National Arts Center Orchestra of Ottawa. As a tuba player, Mr. Amis has performed as a soloist with the English Chamber Orchestra and has been a member of the Tanglewood Festival Orchestra and the New World Symphony Orchestra. His performance skills are showcased on many commercial records distributed internationally. Mr. Amis has served on the faculties of Boston University Tanglewood Institute, and the Pacific Music Festival in Japan and in 2007 was Composer-in-residence at the South Shore Conservatory in Massachusetts. In 2003 Mr. Amis became the youngest recipient of New England Conservatory of Music’s “Outstanding Alumni Award.” Mr. Amis is presently the tuba player of the Empire Brass and the Palm Beach Opera Orchestra, a performing artist for Besson instruments, the assistant conductor for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Wind Ensemble, tuba professor at Boston University, Boston Conservatory, Longy School of Music, New England Conservatory and is tuba professor and wind ensemble director at the Conservatory at Lynn University. Kent Hayward Born to Bermudians Winslow and Gloriajean Hayward, Kent’s musical career started in the Salvation Army as a Bermuda Music Camp student at the age of 7 playing the E flat Alto horn. His playing continued as a Warwick Academy music student under Warren Jones, where he was switched to F Horn. He majored on the F horn as a Music Education Major at Asbury College in 1996 and went onto get his Master’s Degree in Horn performance from Western Michigan University in 1998. While studying in Michigan Kent subbed for the Battle Creek Symphony Orchestra and Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra. On his return to the island Mr. Hayward served as a Primary school music teacher in the public education system for two years. His second appointment at a teacher was as Head of Music at Warwick Academy for 15 years. He is current working as the Executive Director for the Bermuda School of Music. In the local music community Kent conducted for the Bermuda School of Music and for the Bermuda Philharmonic Society where he also served as President for seven years. Locally Mr. Hayward has played with the Daylesford Symphonia, BMDS, Bermuda Philharmonic Society Orchestra, the Bermuda Regiment Band and the Wall Street Band (playing Trumpet). Musical Highlights in his career include joining the Danbury Brass Band on a tour of New Zealand and Australia (2000), playing in the Edinburgh Military with the Bermuda Regiment Band (2004) and playing horn for the Quincy Jones Orchestra in 2009. Solo Performance highlights include F Horn Concerto Performances for the Bermuda Festival in 2009 and 2011 and a recent Haydn Concerto performance with the English Chamber Orchestra Kevin Hayward For most of the first 18 years of his life, Kevin lived on Happy Valley Road in Pembroke, just above the “curve”. He was educated at Dellwood Primary and then Warwick Academy. His earliest and most significant musical training came from his parents and many patient men and women from the Salvation Army. In 1985 he travelled to Canada in order to study the trombone and earn a bachelor of Music Education degree at the University of Toronto. As conductor, clinician and performer he has travelled around the world sharing his love of music with many groups.

More than a century ago, the introduction of a marine science field station in Bermuda was the direct result of governments and academia working together to address the growing need for more robust oceanic observations. Today, BIOS continues to benefit from active cooperation among various sectors, collaborations between researchers, and educational partnerships that cut across disciplines and borders. This report highlights some of the successes that BIOS has achieved in 2019 arising from our strong professional relationships both locally and around the world. Research efforts in 2019 relied upon cooperation between BIOS, external research and education collaborators, industry, and private organizations. Advances in technology helped to bolster existing monitoring capacity on the container vessel Oleander , leveraging the ship’s weekly travel between Bermuda and New Jersey to enhance data collection within ecologically and climatically important regions of the western North Atlantic Ocean. A grant-funded collaboration between scientists and interns at BIOS and the Bermuda Government Department of Environmental and Natural Resources resulted in a novel study demonstrating the value of population genetics for informing and adapting fisheries management measures. And BIOS scientists and educators leveraged funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create a unique opportunity for local participation in oceanographic research aboard our research vessel, the Atlantic Explorer.

Writtle University has been attended by a number of Bermudians, who are now working locally, in various branches of horticulture. A reception on the Saturday evening enabled the alumni to reconnect with Mick and Sandra. The BBS linked forces with 3 other local organizations, The Garden Club of Bermuda, Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, and the Bermuda National Trust. We appreciate the support and collaboration of those groups. Along with these 3 presentations – ‘Climate Change and Landscape Plants’, ‘Plants & People”, ‘The Development of the Mediaeval Garden at Cressing Temple’, visits were made to the Bermuda College, Cedarbridge Academy and Warwick Academy where careers in horticulture were discussed with students. The latter was followed by an informative tour of the organic garden and tree planting projects, amazing! Congratulations to the teachers, students and parents involved. Students, Warwick Academy Lecturing at Bermuda College “To encourage and support the study and promotion of the botanical sciences within Bermuda” Following the presentation at the Bermuda College, one of the students offered to show us their hydroponic experiment. Eric has done an amazing job, using recycled products (including solar panel!) to create a self-sustaining, productive unit. Well worth a visit.
