Meanwhile, Course Administrator Carole Hirst adds that getting the Besson euphonium star to lead the Summer School was 'immense' and that it took the event 'to another level.'

The 2018 tutor team already includes the likes of Mark Wilkinson, Jonathan Bates, Shaun Crowther, Steve Jones, Rebecca Lundberg and David Hirst.
