Commenting on the Festival, trombonist and RBC Head of Brass Ed Jones stated, “In addition to the main Festival, on Saturday, 26 October we have planned a number of youth events led by Tom Lees and Becky Pepper, where younger players will get the chance to learn from some of our visiting artists. There will be massed ensembles, masterclasses, and interactive classes covering all styles of playing, from Early to Modern. Trade stands will be available for you to try all of the latest equipment. 'Lesson Lotto' will give attendees the chance to have a short lesson with one of our visiting artists - look out for updates on how to enter to win one of these. All our competition finals will be held over the weekend; this is a great chance to showcase the finalists with you as audience members. This Festival brings us all together, no matter what age, ability or background and we welcome you all, BTS members or not.”
