2022 performance opportunities aplenty

Making music as a brass band is the focal point of the Brass Band Summer School, and this year delegates will have the opportunity to do just that under the expert guidance of Dr. Robert Childs. However, it doesn’t stop there! Delegates will also have the opportunity to perform as soloists with resident pianist, Matthew McCombie and be part of smaller chamber ensembles.

BBSS Horn tutor, Owen Farr, elaborated: “We try to give delegates as many varied opportunities to perform in different settings as possible. Nothing is compulsory, but the opportunity is there to rehearse and perform with piano should anyone wish to. In addition, tutors will be on hand to coach any ensembles, and when it comes to chamber coaching, we’re extremely fortunate to have a talented staff, including two chamber experts in the form of Fine Arts Brass tubist, Les Neish and Bones Apart trombonist, Becky Smith.”

So, if you’ve aways wanted to play a solo with piano, or you have a quartet, quintet or anything else that you’d like to work on with others, sign up for the Brass Band Summer School and bring your music with you!

The Brass Band Summer School will take place at Harrogate Ladies’ College from 7-13 August 2022. Book your place here or contact Bookings Administrator, Liz Lancaster: admin@brassbandsummerschool.com / +44 (0) 7789 841041
