The event will be open to beginners and intermediate players. Separate parallel sessions are planned for those who have little or no previous experience of playing in any ensemble. We hope to attract instrumental students from local schools as well as adult players. We appreciate that some more competent players may only be able to attend on Saturday. A variety of music will be studied and simplified parts will be available for those that have not played long. We also plan to have two advanced ensembles: one for brass players and another for woodwind players Please complete a registration form. A fee of £5 for children and £10 for adults is payable in advance or on the day.
