The 2021 Higham Hall 'Brass Band Weekend' will take place later this year featuring guest tutor and Besson tenor horn star Owen Farr.
Weekend courses
Taking place from Friday 29th October — Sunday 31st October, Owen will be joined by professional musicians, Andy Kershaw (tuba) and Martyn Grisdale (cornet) for brass band players to rehearse and perform popular and perhaps lesser-known, brass band repertoire.
In addition, the 2022 weekend has already been pencilled for Friday 18th February — Sunday 20th February where Steven Mead will join Andy and Martin.
Places are limited and there is a Higham Assisted Place and a Friends of Higham Bursary scheme to help with costs if appropriate.
All prospective players must contact course leader Martyn on 07970036592 or martyn@onlinetrumpetteacher.com before enrolling to ascertain level, instrument(s) and suitability.
