The event, which will take place on 23rd of April at Cardiff University Concert Hall, is set to host a landmark festival for brass in Wales.

Tom Davoren talks about his inspirations behind creating the festival, the exciting compositional talent that will be featured, the bands to perform and the scope of what he hopes will be a landmark event that will grow to rival the RNCM Festival of Brass in Manchester.
