The Scot is regarded as one of the finest baritone players and teachers of her generation, as well as quickly becoming a highly respected conductor.

Her passion for increasing diversity in the banding world is well known with the Yamaha artist leading workshops and lecture discussions across the globe.

Fantastic programme

A band spokesperson said: "Katrina has been working hard behind the scenes with our MD, Glyn Williams and composer, Daniel Hall to bring together a fantastic programme for Brass in Concert.
