Two year association

Glenn's two year association with National Australia Brass will include teaching, conducting and performing with a number of Australia's brass bands, aligning his work as an International Artist for Geneva instruments and making guest appearances at the annual National Australia Brass Festival — NABfest.

Both countries have a wealth of musical talent and I'm particularly honoured to be invited to receive an official association with National Australia BrassGlenn Van Looy

Fantastic opportunity

Glenn told 4BR: "It was a privilege to be part of the 2015 NABfest in Melbourne earlier this year and being invited to perform and teach in both Australia and New Zealand was a fantastic opportunity to undertake.

Both countries have a wealth of musical talent and I'm particularly honoured to be invited to receive an official association with National Australia Brass for the next two years as NAB International Artist in Residence."
