There is the promise of an outstanding musical experience on offer at this year's Brass Band Summer School (BBSS).

Tutor list

Led by Dr Robert Childs, accompanied by a world class tutor list of Owen Farr, Les Neish, David Childs, Becky Smith, Chris Bradley, Brian Taylor and Alan Morrison, the week at Harrogate Ladies College from 7th-13th August will culminate in a special concert at Harrogate's Grade I listed Church of St. Wilfrid with soloist Roger Webster.

"We are delighted to be back and thrilled to be able to offer delegates such a great musical experience,"Dr Robert Childs told 4BR.

The Brass Band Summer School has a wonderful history having been associated with some of banding's great luminaries such as Harry Mortimer, Philip Jones, Roy Newsome, Philip Biggs, Richard Evans and many more.

I consider it a great honour to return for the organisation's 35th anniversary course, and I can't wait to welcome delegates from all over the world for a wonderful week of music making."
