Bradwell Silver Band pride themselves in supporting the growth of brass banding, and together with Boobs and Brass are inviting all brass and percussion players age 18 and under to attend a free masterclass supported by Yamaha on September 30.
“Yamaha are delighted to once again be supporting Boobs and Brass in concert especially here in Milton Keynes – the home of our UK head office.
"Yamaha’s vision is to inspire new musical talent whilst supporting those who already play,” said Yamaha spokesperson Natasha Homer.
Taking advantage of The Venue MK, secured for the breast cancer charity concert being held that evening, BSB can offer a masterclass with outstanding brass musicians Lucy Cutt, Ben Godfrey and Jack Wilson.
Lucy Cutt, Yamaha Flugel Horn Artist, is currently a featured soloist with The Fairey Band and has appeared as guest soloist in the UK and oversees on numerous occasions.
Both Ben Godfrey and Jack Wilson started their playing careers with Bradwell Silver Band.
Ben, a world-renowned trumpet and cornet player, is committed to improving the young brass and percussion players of Milton Keynes and fits in the role of Musical Director for MK Youth Brass with the high demand for his skills as a freelance musician.
Jack Wilson currently holds the Soprano seat for the GUS Band is has just completed his university studies at the Royal College of Music. Bradwell Silver Band is honoured to host these three championship class brass musicians.
The Masterclass will consist of playing as a large ensemble, smaller groups, a question/answer session and the opportunity to receive individual advice on solo performance. It takes place 11am-1pm.
