BTS Event North East Durham Trombone Day

Sun, Jul. 22, 2018 10:00am - 5:00pm

As part of the prestigious Durham Brass Festival (July 14th - 22nd), the BTS is to host a major trombone event in Durham Town Hall on Sunday 22 July.

Registration for the day will start at 10.00 and the event will run through until around 17:00. Various recitals and workshops will be part of the programme and a major feature will be a public performance on the day in central Durham by as many players as we can assemble.

We are very pleased that Katy Jones, the Principal Trombone of the Hallé Orchestra, is to rehearse and prepare our performance. Katy is, of course, one of this country’s outstanding players and teachers and needs little introduction to the BTS.
