All the young musicians worked hard at their exciting and challenging programme including works by Gareth Wood, Philip Sparke, Goff Ricards, Paul Lovatt-Cooper, Evelyn Glennie and Stijn Aertgeerts. The course concluded in fine style with a trio of performances the first of which took place in Bangor on Friday. The band then headed to St David's in West Wales on Saturday for a repeat performance before concluding with another superb showing in Swansea on Sunday.
