 Soon , Granville had a full orchestra at his disposal , so he convinced the management committee to allow him to give classical concerts on Fridays and Sundays . He then embarked on advanced concerts of new composers , as well as his own works . As he had difficulty finding time to practice these works , Bantock used afternoon sessions , in which he was supposed to play dance music , to rehearse his classical pieces . When the classical pieces spread to the afternoon programme , the management felt it was not commercially viable to continue the concerts . After three years at the tower , Bantock was appointed Principal of the School of Music at Birmingham and Midland Institute .
